96 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux "Takes its time to open, this is structured and hugely impressive, back to the signature concentrated graphite, cassis, luxurious texture and plenty of graphite and crayon Left Bank kick. This one needs to be carafed if drinking any time soon. Michel Couasnon consultant, 100% new oak for 12 months then 6 months in vat. 48hl/h yield, harvest September 26 to October 19."
95 Points, Falstaff "Deep dark ruby, opaque core, discreet brightening at the rim, inviting ripe sweet cherry, ripe plum, subtle nougat, a hint of spice in the background. Juicy, dark berry fruit, pleasant fruit, vivid tannins, fine fruits of the forest confit, concise freshness, persistent, will mature further, definite ageing potential."
