Critics Ratings
'Good bright red-ruby. Expressive aromas of raspberry, cocoa, minerals and violet; very Cabernet Franc! Juicy, sappy and intense, with sharply delineated if still youthfully imploded flavors of floral red berries and minerals. Offers truly superb intensity and clarity, with harmonious lively acids giving the sweetly spicy red fruit flavors noteworthy penetration and cut. Highly perfumed on the long, pure finish which features lingering violet notes. This was my favorite wine of the Primeurs back in 2012 and subsequent retastings of the wine since then haven't changed my mind.' - Ian D'Agata, Vinous, 93/100 (Jul 2014)
'Rich purple crimson. Camomile plus fine dark fruit and graphite freshness. Closed on the nose but scented on the palate. Very fine tannins. Crunchy. Fresh and long. Great purity and line and length. Absolutely lovely.' - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Apr 2012)
