Score 91-94/100 · Wine Spectator

A flattering wine in the making, with a velvety feel from start to finish, offering warm plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruit that cascades through the finish. Features a healthy dose of toast, but everything is integrated and the fruit will win out easily when the élevage is done. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 94-95/100 · James Suckling

A super velvety textured red with a freshness and coolness. Full body, ultra-balanced and a savory finish. Super. Mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Score 91/100 · Tim Atkin MW

A wine that will benefit from more time in barrel and bottle, such is its structure and fruit weight. Plummy, ripe and sweetly oaked with plenty of backbone, 40% new oak and refreshing acidity. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2030

Score 17/20 · Jancis Robinson MW

Very dark. Lifted, fragrant, not one of the most intense but nicely balanced. Racy and toasty. Not perhaps absolutely top rank but not forced. Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2022-2034
