James Suckling: "This is a special wine for the vintage with a wonderful and impressive tannin texture that melts into the wine, giving softness and finesse. Medium-bodied, showing a solid core of fruit with beautiful, focused cassis, blackberry and crushed-stone character. The unique terror of this estate, which is surrounded by houses in a suburb of Bordeaux, has produced a gorgeous wine in this difficult vintage. 45% whole bunches. 40% cabernet franc, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 25% merlot."

Falstaff: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Angenehme Kräuterwürze, schwarze Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Pflaumen, zart nach Minze und kandierten Orangenzesten, attraktives Bukett. Komplex, straff, dunkle Beerenfrucht, stoffige, seidige Tannine, mineralisch und frisch im Abgang, voll Energie und Länge, schwarze Kirschen im Nachhall, große Eleganz, sicheres Reifepotenzial, perfekte Balance.
