Score 95-96/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2016

Incredible depth of fruit with blackberry and blueberry character as well as walnut shell and chocolate. Full body, balanced. Very long finish. Best ever? 100% merlot.

Enticing, with raspberry, plum and boysenberry fruit taking hold from the start, followed by lively spice and black tea notes. The finish is threaded with a fine chalky spine. Focused and refined Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

The Cabernet Sauvignon is always a key feature of this wine, and it’s the case again here in 2015, providing structure and backbone. This is a little closed, but has the intensity, limestone-derived freshness and sheer class to age well in bottle. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2022-2030

Score 93/100 · Decanter

Reticent nose but fragrant palate. Supple texture with plentiful but fine tannins. Length and freshness on the finish – the stamp of the limestone terroir evident. Persistent. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2023-2040
