Tight and layered with beautiful fruit here. Full and chewy. Lots going on here. Interested to see its evolution. Velvety and rich. From organically grown grapes. Apr 17, www.jamessuckling.com

This densely concentrated wine is dark and serious, with powerful tannins. It has a bitter edge and black chocolate flavors along with dark plum-skin flavor. The structure will stand this big wine in good stead as it ages. Apr 2017, Roger Voss, www.wineenthusiast.com

Lots of energy here, with a wide range of loganberry, acai and blackberry fruit flavors pumping along, backed by licorice snap and sweet spice accents. Has some heft, but this is vivid throughout as it relies on purity and a nice mineral underpinning. Strong showing. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Alain Moueix consults. 90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc. Biodynamic. First sample tasted in London: Very dark purple. Rather high in VA. But very plush start and a dry end. The sample was taken two weeks ago which may have been earlier than ideal. Second sample in St-Émilion: much better and more harmonious and fluid. Well balanced and charming with juice and undertow of interest. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2023-2036
