WEINWISSER: "delikates Bouquet, frischgepreßter roter Kirschsaft, Heidekraut, Cassiswürze. Am kompakten Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, straffer Ausrichtung, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, gut stützender Rasse. Im konzentrierten Finale Wildkirsche, Schlehengelee und mehlige Adstringenz. Fällt im Vergleich zu den Vorjahren leicht ab. Kann noch zulegen."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A balanced, textural and refined red with cherries and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety texture with a long, denser finish."

DECANTER: "Beautifully open and expressive aromas. This has great purity, energy and focus - wonderfully alive on the palate with vibrancy. It's not a blockbuster, but you can't fault the precision on show with bitter grapefruit, chalky edges and red berry fruit. There's a touch of citrus to the high acidity but it has a lot of charm and once this settles this will be delicious for early drinking. Tasted twice. 3.4pH. 55 IPT."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart blättrig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeeren, Lakritze, tabakige Nuancen. Mittlere Komoplexität, rotbeerige Textur, frisch, reife Tannine, mineralisch und gut anhaftend, verfügt über Entwicklungspotenzial."

ANSON: "Attractive leafy aromatics, juicy and chalky, this is tasty, old school, charming. These are not generous Cabernets but they have finesse and balance. Earlier drinking than recent vintages at La Lagune, this provides a great window into the skilful winemaking going on at this dynamic estate, owned by Caroline Frey. Harvest 23 September to 9 October. 50% new oak. 3.4 pH."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Black cherries, tobacco, smoke, licorice, flowers, and red currants show in the perfume. Medium-bodied, soft, forward, and fruity, the vibrant, fresh, classic wine will be charming on release, and for at least 12-15 years after that. Drink from 2027-2040."
