Wine Front: Lots of everything. Mint, bourboned oak, sage and dill, black fruit, licorice, some pepper. Full bodied, plenty of weight and scale, at 15.5 it holds its booze well - would no...

Wine Spectator: Lush and bordering on chocolate in flavor, delivering more typical tobacco and licorice notes and a touch of blackberry. This is dense, but in a chunky way rather than supple....

Wine Spectator: Rather toasty today, with mocha and baker's chocolate notes weaving around the dense core of black currant and plum sauce. Flashes of hoisin sauce and tar add a nicely edgy fe...

Burghound: Note: a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers, which interestingly are all bunched together, geographically speaking. This is slightly riper and certainly m...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium yellow. Pear, menthol and a salty nuance on the nose. Rich, ripe and supple but with its fat and sweetness nicely leavened by minerality. Offers a superb comb...
