There is a fluidity here, along with pure black currant, black cherry and violet flavors and a balanced whole that makes this red feel very comfortable in its own skin. All that to say this is almost seamless and, given the long aftertaste, shows terrific potential. Features a long, mineral aftertaste. Drinking range: 2023 - 2047 Rating: 97 Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator (Feb 2019)

Cask sample. Mid crimson. Delicate and peppery on the nose. Dry-textured and peppery on the palate. Both fresh and refined in texture. Elegant and long with the spice really present on the palate and finish. Drinking range: 2026 - 2036 Rating: 17.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)
(from very old vines; no frost here): Healthy dark red with ruby tones. Aromas of dark berries and coffee with cream on top. At once densely packed and perfumed in the mouth, with crushed raspberry and cranberry flavors lifted by violet. Spreads out horizontally on the back end, finishing with terrific class and ineffable rising perfume of spices and flowers. The tannins here are linear and firm but not hard. A very classy, scented grand cru in the making. Rating: 92-95 Stephen Tanzer, www.vinousmedia.com (Jan 2018)
(from a very large 1.21 ha parcel). Here too the wood treatment is subtle yet just prominent enough to warrant pointing out on the cool, pure and notably more sauvage nose of both red and dark wild berry and earth scents. There is a really lovely sense of underlying tension suffusing the much more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that are not quite as rich but notably more precise on the chiseled and wonderfully refined finish. Textbook. Drinking range: 2031 - Rating: 93-95 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jan 2018)
