February 20, 2024 - Quite inky dark ruby colour. Blueberry, violet, touch of liquorice and chocolate. Palate of plum, blueberries, touch of creme caramel and mocha adding a lovely sweeter element. Earthiness with a hint of lavender on the finish. Great concentration and balance. Opens extremely well, showing more comeplexity. Will keep aging v well

July 18, 2023 - Berry's Bordeaux 2022 En Primeur :: Cigar box, tobacco leaf, leather, lifted florals and summer herbs. Beautiful, expressive complexity.

March 9, 2019 - So finessed it's hard not to finish the whole bottle. Takes a feminine form right off the bat and the tannin is refined enough not to compromise the drinkability notwithstanding the fact that there is quite a lot of it. Similarly I never would have guessed the 14.5% alcohol indicated on the label. Flavors are dark-complexioned for the appellation, into the territory of blueberries and violets with a background gravelly element. But the flavors are almost beside the point when there is this much satisfaction to be had just tossing it around in the mouth to take in that texture.

March 12, 2018 - Plush, polished and loaded with sweet ripe, dark, red cherries, plums, espresso, dark chocolate and licorice, the tannins are silky, the fruit is ripe and the finish serves up black cherry, plum and bitter chocolate. This is the best wine ever produced from the estate.

February 17, 2018 - Medium/full bodied, plush soft and forward, the wine offers ripe, dark, red cherries, plums, bitter chocolate, licorice and earthy complexities. There is richness and round textured, ripe, dark red fruits and cocoa in the finish.
