Lots of dried anise, blood orange and lightly mulled plum and cherry flavors bounce around, with a twinge of balsam wood lining the finish. Not as dense as the top wines, but fun fruit. Apr 2017, James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com

Picked 10 October and 13 October from the Merlot and Cabernet Franc respectively, the 2016 La Croix du Casse has an intense bouquet with blackberry and boysneberry fruit that just needs to manifest a little more finesse. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin on the entry, decent fruit although I find that the 40% new oak (actually 50% in my barrel sample) does not quite meld with the tannins as well as I hoped and leaves the finish a little raw.
