95 / 100"A finer, leaner execution of this Bordeaux blend in this vintage but no less impressive. Heady with mulberries and cassis, pepper and woodsy spices with the tannins textural and surprisingly sandy; 18 months in French barriques (33% new). While the oak is integrated, a cedary fragrance lingers lightly. Long and pure on the finish."

93 / 100
"Small berries, spice, mint, cedar, floral top notes. Medium-bodied, crisp and lively, red and black fruits, fine almost sandy tannin, tobacco and aniseed, tight long finish. It’s a wine of many layers, quiet charm and restraint."
- Gary Walsh
Tasting Notes
Deep purple red in colour. The bouquet is potent with blackcurrant, mulberry & cassis enhanced by spice, cedar, and floral accents. Medium-bodied in weight yet fine, elegant & layered. The palate is softly supply, brightly fruited with fine silty tannins, integrated cedary oak, & tobacco & black olive savoury notes on the long finish
