‘Cask sample. Such a meaty and rich nose, slightly animal and wild. The palate has a cool attack and then come the tannins, which are marked, firm and structured with a core of graphite, smoked meat and herbs. Needs a lot of time for those tannins to integrate, yet there is a generous, rich fruit core to allow that. (AC)

‘Incredible concentration and every bit as much finesse. The forest berry notes are right off the scale, just like the stony minerality, which some may find too much, but for me is totally exciting. The drive and energy at the finish must be experienced to be believed. Decades of aging potential. From vineyards planted in 1926 by the winemaker's grandfather in the Les Greffieux and Le Meal sections of the hill of Hermitage. Best from 2027.’ 99 Points JamesSuckling.com Apr 2024
