Simon Field: Dark and unforgiving color; heady, stormy aromatics, a dense swell in its wake; the waters calm a little on the palate, which is softer, more approachable than anticipated, the tannins swathed in a seductive balm. The finish is pure and cleansing, this purity making up for any restraint that may be perceptible elsewhere. The finish stays in the mind, complex, teasing, compelling... | 91

Andrew Jefford: Deep, saturated black-red with promising glints; attractive and very exuberant scents of both black and red fruits, tar, perfumer’s spices, warm stones, and warm animal flesh. Slightly dusty after a while. Deep, fleshy, and full on the palate, this is one of the 2011s where fire and exuberance lord it over purity and finesse—but both approaches work well in this vintage. An exuberant, powerful, amply sweet wine, with broad-brush fruits; hugely and unfussily generous. | 91

Richard Mayson: Deep, opaque, dense, and withdrawn on the nose, underlying brooding intensity and ripeness; similarly rich and ripe on the palate, broad tannic structure, lacking a little in definition and finesse, but impressive, nonetheless, foursquare tannins on the finish. | 90
