CRITIC REVIEWS
James Suckling
A wine with pretty dark-chocolate, berry and currant character. Stones, too. Full body, chewy but polished tannins and a firm finish. Already showing the sea shell and iodine. Needs at least four or five years to soften. Reminds me of the excellent 1978. Try in 2019.
Jancis Robinson
Tasted blind. Smudgy crimson. Very light nose. Lots of freshness and delicacy before the tannins kick in. Quite edgy and fragile. Drying finish.
