Alex Hunt: Bright, vivid raspberry fruit on the nose. Good heft and presence in the mouth without being stodgily tannic. Nice lift and balance. 87

Andrew Jefford: Deep, clear purple-red. Pure, fresh, and lifted: serene and harmonious. Mid-weight, with some grip; tight-meshed fruits picked on the very cusp of ripeness. The result is dense, vivid, lively, effective: serious Brouilly ready for a year or two in the cellar. 89

Peter Liem: This is light and taut, with an uncomplicated fruitiness and an earthy undertone. At least for now, it really needs food to ameliorate the persistent tannins on the finish. 83
