Critic Reviews:
"Assembled wine, from vat before bottling: expressive, open bouquet, smoky black fruits with violet traces. Darting fruit, plenty of style, direct shape. Outcrops of tannin, and some richness in the finish. Fruit on top now, can round out and take on more body and width. From 2009. To 2017-19." 3 stars (John Livingstone-Learmonth)

"Classic notes of tapenade, sweet cherries, smoke, camphor and bacon fat. Medium-bodied, delicate and well-made with fine underlying acidity" 88-91/100 (Parker)

"Deep ruby-red. Pepper and oak spices lift the cherry and dried violet aromas. A mid-weight wine with lively flavours of cassis, cracked pepper and rose pastille. The tannins are dusty and fine." 87-89/100 (Tanzer)
