Score 92-95/100 · Wine Spectator

Offers an alluring licorice frame, with currant and plum sauce flavors giving this a slightly dark profile. Shows a velvety edge throughout. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com

Score 94-95/100 · James Suckling

The best wine I have ever had from here. Super depth of fruit and deep and velvety tannins. Full and gorgeous throughout. A study in strength with finesse. Mostly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Score 94/100 · Tim Atkin MW

Essence of Merlot in a very good vintage for Pomerol, this is plush and very appealing, with textured tannins, subtle oak and sweet plum and raspberry fruit supported by bright acidity. Deceptively easy to drink. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2020-2030
