Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2020

A rich, ripe red with ripe berries and chocolate. Some coffee and toasted-hazelnut character. It’s full-bodied with lots of fruit and intense tannins. Richer nature than the elegant 2018.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2027-2044, Decanter

Beautiful ground coffee and grilled oak flavours from the first attack, this is an excellent wine that has balance and fresh menthol notes running right through it. Plush vibrant tannins of Pomerol, with black cherry and damson fruit abounding. You can feel just how well this is going to age. Tasted twice two weeks apart. A 2ha estate so this is pretty small volume, great quality. A low yield of 23hl/ha.
