All the elements are here in this young red. The raspberry and cherry flavors are pure, framed by subtle oak spice notes and supported by a firm structure. The finish echoes fruit and spice details despite closing up a...

(91-94 points) Subtle wood influence easily allows the ripe and very earthy cassis, spice and black raspberry aromas to be appreciated. The rich, full-bodied and enveloping middle weight plus flavors possess a suave yet...

A firm, powerful wine, its tannins still very dominant. Acidity is a factor, along with deep red-plum fruit. Some sweetness will develop in the next several years, although this concentrated and complex wine will also...

A completely different aromatic profile is present on the aromas of leather, the sauvage, humus and an array of red and dark currant. The succulent round and solidly concentrated flavors exude a subtle minerality, all...

(95-98 points) Pale lemon with a strong green component. Impressive nose, classical Charlemagne, chiselled and stony, no sign of oak, no over ripe fruit. Absolutely dances yet with such an impressive intensity, the...

Medium ruby. A nicely elegant, moderately earthy, fresh and quite aromatically complex nose that is decidedly riper than any of the preceding wines leads to denser, richer, fuller and more muscular flavors and a sweet and...

There is enough menthol and wood influence to mention setting off the elegant, pure and airy aromas of various red berries, earth and a lovely range of spice elements. The round and caressing larger-scaled flavors flash...

Silky and expressive, with cherry, strawberry, floral and black pepper aromas and flavors wrapped around a solid structure. Dense tannins catch up in the end, but overall this is balanced and fine. Best from 2022 through...

(90-93 points) A slightly more generous dash of wood influence can be found on the liqueur-like aromas of plum, cherry, spice and newly turned earth. There is fine delineation to the large-scaled and equally muscular...

Again, this possesses slightly better freshness with its hints of poached, if not stewed, plum, spice and earth. There is much, much better freshness and energy to the dense and more voluminous bigger-bodied flavors that...
