Simon Field | Impressive stained purple color and a nose that marries fruit and floral characteristics, raspberry and violets the first on the list, but many to follow. A Pied Piper leading one astray with his fruity rigor; compote and coulis, decadent, and yet there is a lot of detail in the composition. Firm acidity and dignity on the finish. | 90

Andrew Jefford | Deep, dark though not opaque black-cherry fruits. Warm, mellow, sweet, and resonant, with lots of beguiling black fruits realized with a freshness and purity unusual for Grenache elsewhere. Some licorice complexities, too. Vividly fruity on the palate and not quite as complex as the aromatic profile suggested it might be. | 86

David Williams | A big dose of sweet black fruit—but not much in the way of depth, complexity, or interest beyond that, the alcohol coming in very strongly on the finish in what is a rather clinical, technical wine. | 85
