Scores
99 / 100"What a profound bouquet, hints of wild cherry, fresh alpine blueberry, heather, and a captivating violet fragrance. On the second approach, Tasmanian mountain pepper, clove, and noble cassis spice. On the regal palate, with the typical cashmere texture, a tight tannin structure, incredibly precisely aligned, and a perfectly defined body. In the very long, cascading finish, graphite and light tobacco, very close to the dream note."

"Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Well structured nose with blackberries, black cherries and ripe elderberries, hints of blackcurrant spurs and aromatic herbs. On the palate well structured with ripe tannins, juicy fruit, quite full-bodied with convincing length."

97 / 100
"So succulent and long on the compacted palate, this shows just enough clean ripe berries as well as cedar and chocolate. This has polished, energizing tannins with a lovely and thoughtful drive, the light austerity giving the wine a push in the finish. Only 12.8% alcohol. A blend of 46% merlot, 48% cabernet franc and 6% cabernet sauvignon."
