96 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Composed of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, the wine opens with floral notes over black raspberry and blackberry, with forest floor, star anise and black tea. Medium-bodied, energetic and tense, with soft tannins, floral fruit layers and a lingering finish.

96 Points - Wine Spectator

A sleek and precisely defined Pauillac, showing cassis, blackberry and dark plum fruit with an iron note. Singed alder and sweet tobacco provide the backdrop, while the finish is focused, persistent and refined.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This smoky wine is structured and full of dry tannins. Acidity accompanies black-currant fruit that develops gradually, giving the wine the structure and freshness required for aging.

94 Points - James Suckling

A tight, compact young Bordeaux with medium body, polished and rounded tannins, and currant and raspberry character. A touch of lead pencil complements the structured profile and restrained finish.
