CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
This is really powerful and structured with superb muscle and phenolic tension. Yet, it’s formed and polished, layered and dense. Full-bodied, but energetic and focused. Vibrant acidity. Goes on for minutes. Citrus, stone, straw, salt and chalk. Incredible. Try after 2023.

Rich, cedary/oaky nose but the fruit is tangy and not overcome by the oak, spicy too. The oak is creamy as well as cedary on the palate. Underneath the barrel effect is a waxy richness and a lemon/grapefruit freshness. Shows clearly the importance of the two varieties here. Deep and very youthful. (JH)
