BUY THE WINE

Andrew Jefford | Dark, dense black-red. A soft, earthy warmth, but no great fruit precision or freshness here. A pure, fresh cascade of cool blackcurrant fruit, structured by more acid than tannin. Attractive intensity though little wealth or amplitude. | 88

Michael Schuster | Freshly ripe blackcurrant Cabernet to smell; a rich midweight, fresh and finely tannic; gently juicy, gently fleshy wine, with a good length of flavor, a nice aromatic complexity, with Margaux finesse and restraint and lovely fruit length; classy, harmonious, mid-rank Margaux. Such a fine texture you could drink this already, but it will improve over the long term. 2022–36+. | 92+
