CRITIC REVIEWS
Julia Harding MW
Tasted blind. Deep bricky garnet. Scented with black fruit and just slightly herbaceous but not green. Supple if dry in texture. Elegant in a powerful vintage but not as fine as some at this level – a little bit tough on the finish. (JH)
Charles Curtis MW
This vintage featured a cold winter and cool weather at flowering, followed by a dry summer with a hot July and warm days and cool nights in August and September. The season delivered a wine with an inky dark colour and bright aromas of blackcurrant and spice with a distinctive floral edge. The texture is lively and crisp, with plenty of freshness, firm tannins, and impressive length. This wine will be best after another 10 years in bottle and will easily last 50 years beyond that. This superb, vibrant wine is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot with no Cabernet Franc or Petit Verdot in the grand vin.
