DECANTER: "Gorgeous aromas, vivid and deep. This has nice complexity from the start, lots of salty liquorice with dark cherry and blackcurrant. Clean and precise, quite serious in terms of fruit and structure - it’s straight but not lean but with a blue fruit, juicy acidity. There’s structure and persistence with grip and lift. It’s quite classical - black fruit, mint, aniseed. Well presented. A touch bitter - the acidity just coming through with a raciness but it’s well matched to the fruitiness. Good for ageing but also super approachable. Good quality. Éric Monneret director. 3.58pH. Ageing 12 months, 50% new oak, 50% one year."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Good depth of fruit, showing black cherries, fine herbs and walnut shells. Fine-grained with medium body and juicy fruit. Tannins are firm but polished. Nice length."

ANSON: "Sappy, juicy, deep ruby red colour, grilled cedar, sandalwood oak. A slow build through the palate, velvety tannins, coupled with salinity and juice, great quality in the vintage. Since 2023 owners Generalis also have Croque Michotte in St Emilion (not tasted). Harvest 23 September to 4 October."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Slowly emerges from the glass with notes of fresh blackberries and Bing cherries, giving way to hints of pencil shavings, wild thyme, and wet slate. The medium-bodied palate is soft and silky with delicate red and blackberry flavors and just enough freshness, finishing on a peppery note."
