  This blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Petit Verdot has a fresh, medium-high intensity nose of dried herbs, red & black fruits, currant, cassis, and fine wood spice aromas. On the elegant, medium-full to full-bodied it palate it has spicy aroma replays which are supported by smooth, well-structured tannins and very good acidity. The long, savoury oak finish is firmly structured with youthful, drying tannins. Will be even better in a few years and should drink nicely to the late 2030s. Score: 93+ pts

  Inky. Intense nose including cocoa. This is powerful, a little dry. Reminds me of Vaqueyras or Côte de Ventoux.

  Still very young. Deep color. Dark fruit, blackberries, dark chocolate. Very balanced. Medium finish with remarkable tannins. Would recommend to hold for 3-4 more years.

  Good value, still young but enjoyable now. Lots of primary black fruit with good structure and a moderate finish. Give it some air before serving.
