  Jam, chamomile and licorice on the nose. Lemon, citrus, tart fruit on the mouth. Long finish with soft tannins, medium-high acidity. Taste even better the next day. 92

  Burghound in Asia Grand Tasting (St. Regis Hotel, Singapore): Strange wine this. Objectively quite good indeed, but not really to my tastes. The nose was quite tight, with sweet cherry scents floating out of the glass alongside stony mineral, earth and plenty of spice notes. It was the palate were the wine really showed its character. Sure, there was lots of depth and intensity and a layered richness to the palate. However, it was stylistically very mocern, with rich red fruit coming across almost liquered. Fine tannins added a good sense of structure and there was decent balance, but at the moment, this was all about rich, primary fruit. It was only on the finish that some mineral and earth showed up along with a trace of new oak influence. I think this was objectively the best wine of the three Pascal Marchand wines I tried, and it should age very well, in fact I would not touch it for at least a decade, but at the moment I am somehow not sure I like the style.
