  A super bouquet confirmed delicious flavours of cherries and liquorice. The sweetness was mollified by soft tannins and a pleasing acidic bite which added a little freshness to the warmth of the alcohol and spices. As the wine developed on the mid-palate there was chocolate powder and cocoa, and the finish was impressive and long. This is now nicely mature and well-integrated, and yielding up a great deal of pleasure. CHP 91 pts

  Fine LBV. Not the most powerful, rather elegant (yet full taste). Only 19.5 % alcohol, so no heat. A hint of sweetness, fresh red fruit, a bit of tannic resistance. Well balanced!

  Good fruit on first day, but even under argon it was gone by day 2, only a dusty nose and dull palate left thereafter. On day 1 this was 89 points, the score reflects the drop-off which I consider unacceptable for LBV.
