Gault Millau 2005: 94 points

The Vine de Clive Coates M.W. (february 2003)

"Good colour. Ripe, generous and gently oaky. Medium-full body. Succulent and complex. Fragrant and very elegant. Lovely balance. Very lovely fruit. This is delicious. Very long. Fine plus".

International Wine Cellar (S. Tanzer 2003)

90/92 ...."Good full, deep red. Complex, vineyard-typical aromas of briary blackberry, smoke, minerals, underbrush and roasted herbs. Rich, dense and sweet, with mineral and spice notes..."

The Fine Wine Review (Allen Meadows)

90/93 ..."rich, mineral-laden flavours that display superb acid/fruit/tannin balance plus an impressive, and beautifully focused, long finish..."
