Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve: Very accomplished. Lovely red-fruit nose, generous nature, full body. The tannins are riper and more harmonious than in any other wine we’ve tasted from the Figeac sector – these have an exceptional liquorice character. Clearly made from grapes picked in peak condition. 16

Margaret Rand: Chewy, and with good spicy fruit. Good balance and nice elegant length. 16
