Decanter: 92 Punkte
"Beautiful colour in the glass, so vivid and vibrant. Sleek and streamlined, a lovely cool vein of freshness and soft flinty touches with grippy tannins that give texture to the frame. On the reserved side, it’s poised and calm, not shouting but delicately delivering layers of flavour, concentrated black fruits, minerality and ever so soft spicing. Nice definition, weight and intensity, this is well crafted with licks of liquorice, clove and dark chocolate. A lovely ease to this despite being clearly powerful and full of refined intensity. 3.9pH, 85IPT. Harvest 14-26 September. A yield of 28hl/ha." - Georgina Hindle (04/2023)

"Some heat on the opening moments, softening to show a velvety texture and vivid blue and red fruits, creamy patisserie notes with fennel and black chocolate on the finish. Great quality. Hail on June 20 meant losing around 30% of the crop, leaving a yield of 28hl/h, and as a result this blend is unusually high in Merlot. Lower alcohols here than 2018, 2019 and 2010 after some blockages. Not sold En Primeur." (02/2023)
