Tasting comments by Jean Claude Berrouet: "A deep, glowing garnet hue with ruby glints. The nose has good aromatic intensity (a trait of this vintage) and displays firstly a range of floral notes, in which violets come to the fore. Then, black fruit aromas come through, especially blackcurrant, followed by aromas of cigar-box. The palate is homogeneous with a dense texture, underpinned by coated tannins which provide unctuosity to the whole, while a mineral aspect adds complexity and brings an expression of finesse and elegance. Great aromatic freshness 'lengthens' the finish with mingling black fruit and peppermint notes and
outstanding, lingering length of flavour".

Andreas Larsson 98/100: "Pure nose, very chalky with notes of ripe dark berries, cassis, cherry, nougat, tobacco and fine oak. Ample and dense structure with a remarkable concentration - a bright freshness underneath, savoury and broad with good volume, finely chiseled tannins, layers of wild berry fruit and a very long grippy finish. Excellent".
