92 Points - James Suckling:  A fruity and refined wine with blackberry, black-chocolate and subtle berry and spice character. Medium body, medium tannins and a succulent finish. 65% merlot, 20% cabernet franc and 15% cabernet sauvignon. Mostly from grapes of Castillon with some vats from top estates. Delicious now, but can age.

90 Points - Wine Spectator:  A fresh version, with cassis and bitter plum flavors that stretch out nicely, this is flecked with savory and violet notes along the way. The slightly taut structure adds some length. Drink now through 2029.
