Tasting notes
This is a well-focused wine in the making, with streamlined red currant and bitter plum fruit laid out nicely over a chalky spine, giving way to a singed tobacco note on the finish. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

This is very dense and super silky, ripe tannins. Full and beautiful. Lots of wet earth, asphalt and blueberry character. One of best ever. Pure Merlot. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com
Plush and ripe and full of very promising black plum fruit. Excellent flavour concentration and juicy. Smooth tannin, fairly light body. Attractive spice on the finish. (RH) Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2017-2024
Michel Rolland's property and one of his best yet. Spice and dark fruit notes and a sumptuous texture. Tannins are plentiful but really fine. Freshness and length on the finish. Harmonious. Apr 2016, James Lawther MW, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2021-2030
