Alex Hunt: There’s very little to get a handle on here, aromatically. The proportion of the palate is nice, quite slender and precise, with a natural freshness. But there’s not a whole lot of flavor or complexity. 84

Andrew Jefford: Deep, clear black-red. A spicier, earthier mix than many of its red blended peers: carefully crafted, refined, and appetizing. This is a graceful and charming wine on the palate: complex, refined flavors; moderate levels of concentration; firm supporting tannins. So urbane and carefully crafted that one risks underestimating it, but it would drink superbly well and has all of the generous flavor appeal which the Rhône ideal promises. 91

Peter Liem: The ripe flavors of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry are jammy and brambly, feeling fresh and lively on the palate. They’re complemented by a supple texture and kinetic structure, finishing with fine length. 90
