"Ripe fruits and well worked tannins, with a clean lift through the finish. It offers enjoyable, unfussy drinking with complexity added by violet and raspberry touches. “ (2015) Decanter Magazine 90 POINTS
"Very pretty blackberry and orange-peel aromas with floral hints. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Chewy and linear. Needs a two or three years to soften the extraction. Try in 2020.” (2015) James Suckling 92 POINTS
This 80/20 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc includes an aerial river of red fruit aromas—including black cherries—as well as aromas of eucalyptus, pencil lead and plums. A confidently balanced and somewhat textured classic ambassador for Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wines. In the mouth this provides a pulse of chewy black cherries on the cheeks, and is a joyful and delicious balance of red fruit with seductive elegance. Pair with lamb shish kebab and cous cous, or even cherry chocolate ice cream. (2019) Tom Mullen, FORBES 95-97 POINTS
