Andrew Jefford | Deep, clear red. Warm and grainy, rounded, with some soft cherry at the core; pleasant if broad-brush. Lively, juicy; lots of squeezed sour cherries. Sweet edges to set off the sourness, and the sourness is resonant and place-reflective; there’s nothing unripe in this wine. Well made, and with some depth and concentration; one of the longest finishes on the table. All that it’s missing is a little aromatic finesse. | 89
Anne Krebiechl | Smoke and tar still play among ripe, red-cherry notes. The palate is dense and serious and very concentrated, only revealing aromatic notes of cherry here and there. This is still rather closed and very firm. This is just beginning to unfurl and has aromatic, tart red fruit at its deep core. This is resonant and still very young, with a firm, at this point almost unrelenting, structure. Wait. | 95
Jancis Robinson | Mid-crimson. Gentle and only a little raw on the palate. But overall, it is a little demanding on the palate. A hint of green. But quite long. Just a bit tart. 2017–22. | 88
