This is very bright and well crafted with ultra-fine tannins and beautiful depth of fruit. Compact and linear. Beauty.

Score: 93-94/100James Suckling

Cedary,dry spice, brooding impressive nose. Nice even texture on the palate, some decent layering of tannins on the palate providing structural depth, nice firm, mineral underpinning to the wine. Lovely drying minerality counterbalanced by ripe fairly generous fruit. Fruit is fresh, clean – dried raspberry, red plum, redcurrant sourness gives freshness on the palate. This is very good medium bodied, medium intensity well balanced St Emilion showing good limestone typicity.
