Decanter: Raspberry and rose petal aromas, creamy strawberry scents too. A lively kick of acidity starts this expression before focusing and revealing grippy but clean and cool blackcurrant and cherry fruit with a stony, graphite and flint undercurrent which leaves the finish fresh and clean. I like the purity and detail on show. Refined with nothing over the top. Very transparent, and very approachable too. Serious but classic. Very impressive this year. A good pick!"

James Suckling: This is medium- to full-bodied with very precise balance between the dark fruit, fine-grained yet youthful tannins and fibrous texture. Firm yet balanced. 70% cabernet sauvignon, 27% merlot, 2% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot."

Jane Anson: Super attractive and easy to recommend, graphite and wet stone textured, laced with grilled cumin and cloves, black and cool blue fruits, structured with depths and as ever with this wine you just feel very happy to be in Pauillac. 27 hl/h yields. 56% new oak."
