James Suckling: "Good depth of fruit, showing dark cherries and violets. Pure and flavorful with medium to full body and a juicy, bright finish of good length. Some good potential here from this challenging year."

Vinum: "Tiefgründig, dunkelfruchtig, Brombeeren, Cassis, kühler Kamin, kalkig-mineralische Untertöne, darüber florale Noten; dichter Gaumen, sehr kompakt, markante Tanninstruktur, kalkig-pudrige Gerbstoffe, lebhafte Säure; rotfruchtig und mit wiederum salinem Ausdruck, langer Abgang. Im Jahrgangskontext eindrücklich, das grandiose Terroir spricht Bände."

Jeb Dunnuck: "Black raspberries, cassis, graphite, and crushed stone intermixed with a gorgeous floral character all emerge from this deep purple-hued effort. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it's medium-bodied and concentrated, with ripe, polished tannins, a pure, seamless texture, and a serious, mineral-laced finish."

Lisa Perrotti-Brown: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Skips out with energetic notes of juicy raspberries and fresh cherries, plus hints of rose bud tea and fallen leaves. The light to medium-bodied palate is tightly wound with great tension and vivacity, finishing long and fragrant. Impressive!"

The Wine Cellar Insider: "Licorice, smoke, black raspberries, toffee, and flowers permeate the nose. The palate is fresh, sweet, and juicy, with vibrant cherries, plums and a touch of minerality in the finish. Give this just a year or so in the bottle, and it will be ready-to-go on release. The wine is made from blending 80% Merlot with 20% Cabernet Franc. 13% ABV. The harvest took place from September 24 to October 10. Drink from 2028-2040."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine Würze, Brombeerkonfit, zart nach Lakritze, einladendes, mineralisches Bukett. Saftig, elegant, frische Kirschen, rassiger Säurebogen, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, gutes Reifepotenzial."
