85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. For once a real delight. Soft, broad, cushiony red and black fruit. Summer-pudding with a sort of carbon depth. Fresh balance and touch of velvet. Tannic finale, but it stays fresh and appetising. Rating: 91 L&S (Apr 2011)

Dense, nicely concentrated, rich red. Nose is unmistakeably Pomerol with earthy, slightly iron-rich Merlot fruit lifted with fragrance from Cabernet Franc. Fine natural sweetness on the palate, which is full of energy and already has an attractively smooth texture with tannins firming up the long, satisfying finish.

It is rich and ripe fruited with lots of fleshy black plum on the palate. The mid palate feels lighter with an attractive mix of bilberry and bramble just a slight lack of depth but the ripe fruit is there at the back enriching and fleshing out the finish. 2017-30 Rating: 87 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)

This is a much bigger, more extracted wine than the 2009, but it continues the good work that has been done since the property changed hands in 2005. Richly coloured, very concentrated and aiming for the big league, this is a wine that will need time in barrel and bottle for the fruit to emerge. 15+ years.
