February 14, 2015 - Very savoury nose showing earthy, mushroom and truffle characters. Medium bodied. Blackberry and black pepper on the palate. Well integrated oak.

April 26, 2014 - Nose of sulfur sewer is a bit off putting. This died away but only after significant decant time say two days. Otherwise clean entry and nice fairly fruit driven style.

octopussy Does not like this wine: 83 points
May 29, 2013 - 15 Cabernet Francs: Ruby red. In the nose, there's kirsch, some raspberry candy, some wood, it's very aromatic, but not very seductive or delicate. On the palate, it's fairly simple, slightly diluted with rather strong acidity and bitter tannins in the fairly short finish. Not altogether bad, but not great either.
