Ratings & Tasting Notes
James Suckling (96/100)
“Gorgeous blackberry, blackcurrant and tapenade aromas follow through to a medium body with super-integrated tannins that are very refined. The thick, polished, silky texture is impressive. Best ever from here. Drink after 2029.”
Falstaff (96/100)
“Dark ruby in colour with purple reflections, and subtle brightening on the ochre rim. On the nose, aromas of dark fruits of the forest, a hint of liquorice, candied orange zest, and some vanilla and tobacco. The palate is juicy, and elegant, with good freshness, fine tannins, ripe cherry fruit and a delicate sweetness on the persistent finish. Already drinkable, with great potential for ageing.”
Jeff Leve – The Wine Cellar Insider (95/100)
“Deeply colored, the wine shows off its violets, lilacs, licorice, black cherry, and currant character with a single swirl. On the palate, the wine is rich, lush, polished, creamy, and loaded with black, red and blue fruits. There is length, opulence, and layers of ripe, sweet, pit fruits that linger. The wine is a blend of 69% Cabernet Sauvignon and 31% Merlot. 13.8% ABV, 3.64 pH. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. The Grand Vin was produced using only 52% of the harvest. Picking took place September 7 – September 27. Drink from 2027-2055.”
