James Suckling: "Chocolate and hazelnuts with berries and walnuts. Medium to full body. Round, polished tannins and a flavorful finish." (93-94)

Jane Anson: "Inky purple in colour, medium to full intensity, lovely extraction where the blueberry and blackberry fruits feel plentiful but held together by well-judged tannins that are doing their job. There is austerity but it is of the bouncy, bright kind where you feel the good stuff is being held back for a few years' time. Great appellation signature." (94)
