James Suckling: "Pure old-vine merlot made a wine with tension and depth. It’s medium-bodied with juicy fruit and a savory finish. Plenty of black-olive and dark-fruit character. Juicy finish."

Decanter: "For the first vintage ever, the new oak is reduced to 50% and the wine is all the better for that, showing off distinct black cherry and plum with a hint of toast, leading to rather smooth tannin and saline freshness. Healthy yield at over 50hl/ha, with the harvest bringing in ripe grapes from 11 to 28 September. A star from Lalande de Pomerol!"

Vinum: "In diesem Jahr mit deutlicher Herbe; rote Frucht, merklich Holz; straff am Gaumen, zeigt Trinkfluss und Frische, angenehm langer Abgang. Dürfte rasch Spass machen."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Flowers, cherries, licorice, smoke, and cocoa create the perfume. On the palate, the wine is soft, silky, fresh, medium-bodied, round, and creamy, finishing with plums, cherries, in early-drinking approach. The wine is a blend of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink from 2026-2036."
