Jane Anson: Sleek and vivid plum and damson colour, love this estate, such a great name to follow. Smoky reduction on the opening here, and although there is plenty of juice running through the palate, the tannins are pretty fierce at the moment. September 4th to 20th harvest, 30% new oak. 28 hl/ha yield."

Decanter: Really ripe and perfumed, so fragrant and aromatic. Lovely purity though, still some wood showing in the massy tannins, but there’s delicacy to this and a nice cool stony, liquorice grip that ends on an appealing note. Will be nice to taste after ageing. Not as sweet and supple as some."

Weinwisser: Delikates, rotbeeriges Bouquet, zarter Veilchenduft, Preiselbeergelee. Am saftigen Gaumen mit butterweicher Textur, balancierter Rasse, stützendem Tanningerüst, mittlerem Körper. Im gebündelten, feinaromatischen Finale roter Johannisbeernektar, heller Tabak und feinsandige Adstringenz."

Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Verhalten, zart floral, Nuancen von Kirschen, ein Hauch von Dörrpflaumen. Saftig, charmant, rotbeerig, zarte Tannine, frisch strukturiert, mineralisch und anhaftend, vielseitig einsetzbar."

Vinum: Noch vom Holz geprägt, dahinter mit reifer Frucht und würzigen Noten; knackiger Gaumen, gut strukturiert, markante, reife Tannine, zeigt Schliff und eine gute Länge. Dürfte mit dem Ausbau noch an Finesse gewinnen."

The Wine Cellar Insider: Medium-bodied, soft, forward, and fruity, there is a sweet, and fresh quality to the fruits here from start to finish. This is already quite delicious to taste, so it promises to deliver early-drinking pleasure on release. If you are seeking a Saint Julien that sells for a song, this early-drinker is a great choice. Drink from 2028-2040."
