Score 17/20 · Drink 2006-2019, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, May 2016

60% Cabernet Sauvignon, plus Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot & Malbec. Mushroom, ripe red fruit, very mellow and resolved on the palate with the primary fruit giving way to a medicinal and leather character. Dry, lightly fibrous tannin. (RH)

Score 16/20 · Drink 2005-2015, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Sep 2015

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Full-blown medicinal nose which tends to dominate the entire palate rather too much. Medium body, soft palate. Stylised and dry, and intensely flavoured – but entirely in a medicinal, volatile way. (RH)

57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. Lots of classic claret aroma: baked earth, black cherry, menthol, forest floor. Still quite a lot of tannin on the palate, but it has a fine grained drinkability. Strong menthol eucalypt character on the finish. (RH)
