Tasting notes
Nice punch to this young red with a very pretty center palate of fruit. Medium body, plenty of succulent blackberry fruit and a long and silky finish. Apr 17, www.jamessuckling.com

Naughty heavy bottle. Very dense crimson. Full-throttle extraction. Definitely bitter on the end. Too much! The most obvious hangover from the 1990s… No persistence. All on the nose. No thank you! Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2019-2025
This is overly tight, not letting the light in right now. Certainly the 100% Merlot fruit is highly charged and plumped up, yet the depth of fruit suggests it is best to enjoy in the next five to eight years. From the sand-clay soils of Vignonnet. Apr 2017, www.decanter.com, Drink: 2023-2035
