Score 90-93/100 · Wine Spectator

Very solid, with a bolt of graphite striding through, matched by dark plum, blackberry and anise notes. Shows excellent definition and integration already. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling

Extremely dense and chewy with ripe tannins and chocolate. Full and flavorful. Loads of coffee and plum character. Fantastic young wine. From organically grown grapes. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Very deep crimson. Lively and full of life. Perhaps not the densest but offers great fruit. GV Apr 2016, www.JancisRobinson.com, Drink: 2022-2030

Score 91/100 · Tim Atkin MW

Not quite at the level of the white from the same château, yet this is still an impressive red. The oak is quite prominent, but it’s a structured, serious, ambitious red that will age well in bottle. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2028
