JAMES SUCKLING: "This has aromas of blackberries and blackcurrant, as well as graphite and flint. Some gunpowder. It’s full-bodied with extremely refined tannins, a creamy character and al-dente fruit at the finish. Crunchy, succulent and linear. Mineral edge to it, like licking a stone. Energetic. 83% cabernet sauvignon and 17% merlot."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Frische Orangenzesten, reife Herzkirschen, Brombeerkonfitüre, zarte florale Noten, einladendes Bukett, rotbeerige Nuancen. Saftig, elegant, rote Herzkirschen, feine Tannine, frischer Säurebogen, salzig im Abgang, bleibt gut haften, zarte Extraktsüße im Nachhall, besitzt Länge und Reifepotenzial."

JANCIS ROBINSON: JANCIS ROBINSON:" Deep purple-black colour. Better on the palate at the moment, the nose a little wayward. Lovely textural feel on attack, the tannins plentiful but velvety and smooth. Quite ample but also long and driven. Good freshness as well. Ageing potential. Drink 2035 - 2050:"
