94 | Attractive leafy bouquet, red plum, blackcurrant leaf. Medium-bodied, good freshness, slightly astringent. Excellent intensity and freshness. Good persistence.
92 | Attractive combination of black and red fruit, showing a little development even at this stage. Plummy/fruitcake. Nice degree of ripeness. Tannins soft and powdery. Moderately lengthy.
95 | Smells good, tastes good. This is real Merlot. Soft tannins, nice balance and weight. Good, ripe flavours. Rich, good concentration, freshness and potential - although it's lovely now. Clearly the best Merlot.
95 | Nice plummy and oak nose. Generous and round, plush texture with bright acidity. Clean, correct and persistent.
