Score 16/20 · Drink 2010-2020, Jancis Robinson MW, Aug 2007

Very dark, blackcurrant colour. A freshness on the nose. Very slightly skinny and austere still. Well-managed tannins, but wait. (JR)

Score 85/100 · Drink 2001-2009, Robert Parker, Apr 2001

Soft, peppery, and herbaceous, with some spice, this light-weight, medium-bodied 1998 requires consumption over the next 7-8 years.

Score 88/100 · Wine Spectator

Very pretty wine. Well done. Lovely berry, cherry and mint perfumes. Medium- to full-bodied, with very silky tannins and a long finish. Best after 2006. 15,000 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2001
