Jane Anson: Grilled vanilla bean, cloves, brambled fruit, fairly dominant in oak, this is knitted down, needs to unravel over ageing but the track record of this estate gives me confidence. Dubourdieu family owners."

Decanter: Polished forest fresh aromas with cool blue and red fruit lead to a brisk attack and juicy mid palate that then tightens with foreboding tannin and high-toned acidity. I just wish it were a bit warmer and welcoming as a Graves, but 12 months in barrel - with one third new oak - should soften the edges."
