James Suckling 95pt

Pure and beautiful aromas of blueberries and dark chocolate that follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a silky finish. Very fine indeed. Wonderful length to this. Best wines in years from here.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

Continuing the great improvements at this estate, this 2010 is firm and solidly tannic, showing severity. As a contrast, it also shows acidity and black currant fruits that offer weight and richness. A balanced wine with a good future.

Wine Spectator 90pt

Solid, with a saturated core of plum, anise and blackberry cloaked in ganache and melted licorice snap notes. Still has some toast to soak up on the finish, but the stuffing is there. This should evolve into a tobacco-filled version when mature. Best from 2015 through 2024

Tasting notes

An intense, brilliant deep ruby colour. Some hints of ageing. A fine, generous bouquet revealing a strong concentration of dark berries such as blackcurrant or blackberry. Everything is softened, deep and rich. The bouquet remains reserved, with a bold, generous and sensual attack on the palate. The mid-palate is voluptuous and fleshy. It is nicely concentrated, with well-defined sapidity. This gives it a balanced and powerful effect with great ageing potential. Very generous, with a fleshiness accompanied by a discreet but necessary acidity. The very elegant tannins are well integrated. The finish is long and still tight.
