Roger Voss - Wine Enthusiast

Coming from this vastly improved estate, this wine offers rich tannins, concentration, power and density. Blackberry flavors add a more immediately approachable side to this wine that should be ready to drink from 2024.

Jane Anson - Decanter Magazine

Powerful and rich, almost creamy in texture, with chewy tannins and deep, juicy black fruits. It's very good quality, although it's worth noting that we opened a second bottle as the first one had queries over its levels of reduction. Spicy notes stand out. Matured in 35% new oak.

James Suckling

A medium-bodied and elegant Pauillac with fine, mixed-currant aromas, polished tannins and a lively finish. Drink or hold.

James Suckling

A linear and tight red with blueberries, currants and walnuts. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. All there. Best wine from here in quite some time.

Wine Spectator

Features a core of juicy plum and blackberry fruit, liberally inlaid with singed cedar details and chalky minerality. The fruit is solid, but the cedar element echoes longest on the finish, leaving this wine on the rustic side of the ledger. Best from 2023 through 2032. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 8,333 cases made.
