JAMES SUCKLING: "Some pretty spice notes here, with licorice, clove and blue and black berries. Medium-bodied with a creamy and plush tannin texture. Supple finish. Sea salt at the end. 91% merlot and 9% cabernet franc."

DECANTER: "Fragrant red berry fruit, pink flowers and raspberries on the nose. Juicy and lively, delicately framed with a light but expansive flavour in the mouth - feels well worked, open and approachable. I love the minerality on this - the soft saline edge to the fruit and touch of pencil lead to the tannins that then lingers on the tongue. On the right side of austere, this has a long, refined and graceful length. An Alcée with lots of promise."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Ein Hauch von Gewürzen, dunkle Waldbeeren, Brombeeren, zart nach Lakritze, tabakige Nuancen. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerig und frisch strukturiert, feine Tannine, salziger Touch, ein lebendiger Speisenbegleiter."
