CRITIC REVIEWS

15.5

Richard Hemming MW

Cask sample. Earthy note, chunky and astringent on the nose, and the fruit, while ripe, is definitely on the mushroomy side. Bit early for that sort of development, surely? Furry finish, with lingering smoky notes. Doesnt seem to have come together in the way that many other 2020 samples have. (RH)

James Suckling

Black berries and cherries with flowers and orange peel. Crushed stone. Some graphite. Iron. Flint stone. It’s medium- to full-bodied. Firm and polished tannins. Very typical and classic. Best ever? 96% merlot and 4% cabernet franc. Needs four or five years to come around. Try after 2028.
