Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. Drink: 2037+. Score - 92-95. (Allen Meadows, burghound.com, April 10, 2024)

Dark in color and fruit expression, this red features black cherry, blackberry, boysenberry and violet flavors. Rich and reveals dense tannins yet hangs together nicely and lingers on the finish. Best from 2027 through 2040. Score - 90. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, July 31, 2025)
