Stephen Brook: Reticent red-fruit nose. Supple and mouth-filling, has depth and succulence; concentrated but not too dense, moderate acidity and tannins, and quite good length. 16.5

Andrew Jefford: Dark clear red. Elegant, confit cherry fruit. Fresh and appealing. Supple, smooth, fresh, sleek, with a hugely enjoyable depth of fruit and tannic warmth. Its almost perplexing combination of glycerous textures and tannin is very typical of the ’06 vintage. 15.5
