8 Dec, 2011 – What a decadent nose, with strawberry pie, cream, vanilla, and exotic fruits. Almost new world in style. Full and round, with minty, bright fruits on the palate. Long and wonderful, exciting and fresh. A real beauty. Closes down a little bit, but this is still a big surprise. Pull the cork after 2015.-James Suckling
Tasted blind at Farr Vintner’s Left Bank tasting. This has a pleasant nose, quite natural, with blackberry, wild hedgerow, cedar and earth. The palate is finely balanced with a supple entry, good acidity, plump earthy red-berried fruit, cohesive and refined towards the finish. I was not surprised when the identity of this wine was revealed. Tasted October 2010.-Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
The heatwave year has lent a telltale ripeness to the fruits here, along with its warm character of exotic spices and tender, fully ripened tannins. The alcohol is relatively low, suggesting possible blockages of ripeness which may be responsible for the slight green notes that are actually quite welcome, balancing the fleshy fig and damson fruits. There's still some juice running through the whole thing and it has kept its balance, although it will not age as well as some other vintages. I would say that John Kolasa, director at the time, played this very well. Picked 10 September to 22 September, with a 30hl/ha yield. 55% new oak.-Jane Anson, Decanter
Dark crimson. Very low-key nose, but unusually convincingly deep palate. Chewy finish, but lots of fruit beforehand. Quite inky. Serious. No exaggeration.-Jancis Robinson
