Vert de Vin Magazine

The nose is fruity, racy and offers a fine power. It reveals notes of ripe blackberry, ripe black and small notes of ripe wild raspberry associated with touches of lily, cornflower, sweet spices, nutmeg as well as hints of liquorice stick, Cuben pepper and mushroom. The mouth is fruity, well-balanced and offers elegance, a beautiful definition, roundness and a good definition. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of fleshy blackberry, ripe wild raspberry and small notes of mild tobacco, violet associated with very fine hints of underwood and nutmeg. Tannins are elegant, very discreetly marked and well-built. A very discreet hint of underwood on the persistence.

5 Thumbs Up. For satan - pardon my french - et fin, let og moden frugt. Og netop frugten er her i centrum, meget overdådig, let og smuk og næsten som om, at den er blevet poleret. Der er solbær, hindbær, blommer, masser af sød fadpræg med både lakrids, karamel, vanilje, kaffe og mælkechokolade.I munden er vinen knap så intens, mister måske pusten en smule og virker på en eller anden måde lettere, mere ubekymret, unuanceret og mindre tæt. Der er dog nogle fine, spinkle tanniner, der samtidig er tørre ... det bliver liv og let bitterhed. 92 point.

James Suckling

This is a concentrated wine for the vintage, with spice and earth character. Full body, chewy tannins and a long finish. A little rustic now but will deliver so much pleasure.

Falstaff

Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate water edge. Delicately animalistic, some cassis, delicate liquorice, a hint of caramel. Medium-bodied, red berries, freshly structured, demanding tannins, currant and brettanomyces in the aftertaste, chalky-taut, a classy accompaniment to food.

Gilbert & Gaillard

Deep garnet-red. Warm plummy nose with ripe black fruits and a graphite note. Power, warmth and opulence are the key themes on the palate. Ripe fruit with a slightly vegetal, liquoricy finish.

Wine Enthusiast

Firm and complex, it shows both ripe fruit and weighty tannins, and is still very closed and tight. This is a powerful expression of the vintage—a wine that should age well.
