Critics Ratings

'Very lively, with mouthwatering acidity driving a host of lavender, iron, and bramble notes through dense raspberry and blackberry fruit. A sanguine note adds lovely, tangy length to the finish. Should rival the 2005 for best among recent vintages.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2011)

'Deep ruby. Black raspberry and cherry on the nose and palate, with fresh violet and anise qualities adding vivacity. Juicy and precise but nicely concentrated too, with a seamless texture and very good thrust. Finishes sweet, spicy and long, with resonating florality and lingering spice notes.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 91/100 (Mar 2012)

'Ripe, juicy, but not at all sweet fruit. Dark and dense and compact on the palate. Lovely emerging fragrance. Dry, layered, great depth.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Oct 2013)
