Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2016-2025, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Apr 2013
Inky black with purple core. Markedly floral (violets) on the nose, though there is still plenty of sweet oak. Fresh, bright cassis aroma emerges with aeration. Total coverage of chocolate and toasty oak on the palate. Sweet, rounded, but more winemaking than terroir. Here the tannins are relatively soft but I can't get away from that chocolate oak sweetness. Not my style but I can see it has appeal. (JH)
