Michael Edwards: Generous deep-ruby hue; an attentioncatching nose, violets over a nervy energetic streak of acidity; palate confirms: nervosité, tension, dash. I like this. Finesse in the Midi- 17

Andrew Jefford: Dark black-red. The aromatic profile here is warm though slightly resinous, without a great deal of depth or subtlety. Soft, lush, full, rich, expressive, tannin-clad; from an evidently warm site. Satisfying, reassuring, and heady wine whose blackberry and ripe damson fruits almost seem to have a brandied warmth to them. This is another wine with very low acid levels, yet it is cleanly made, and the black fruits are agreeably qualified by the graphite flavors and textural suede of the tannin profile- 15

Marcel Orford-Williams: Good fruit; quite sweet. A bit dry on the finish but perfectly enjoyable. Needs food- 15
