"Very dark with black bright core. Lovely spice and cigar box aroma. Very pure cassis and cassis leaf. Just a touch of mintiness on the palate. Tastes like a ripe bordeaux. Terrific compact fruit and tannins yet so refined. Some graphite on the finish. Long, firm but so elegant. Finesse in the structure and the fruit less obviously sweet than on some of the wines in this new-release line up. The fruit has just eaten up the oak. 17.5+ Points/Drink 2016-2030" - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com
