Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2014-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Feb 2014
Dark crimson. Smells a bit overdone and wet furry. Too much winemaking? Round and flattering but it could do with a bit more freshness on the end. (JR)

Score 17/20 · Drink 2010-2020, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Feb 2009
Warm and meaty, also very slightly floral and smoky. Dense and taut with a lively freshness that I didn’t expect after the nose. Lots of sweet fruit to the end and firm but smooth, dry tannins. (JH)

Score 16/20 · Drink 2010-2016, Jancis Robinson MW, Dec 2008
Dark crimson. Pretty flashy nose. Sweet start and very winning even if the oak influence at the end is decidedly un-Margaux-like. A bit raw and uncomfortable to drink. (JR)
