95 Points James Suckling This has an exuberant, concentrated nose of blackberries, crunchy elderberries and dried herbs such as thyme—a complex and expressive aromatic profile. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a solid core of dark fruit that remains composed and elegant, supported by depth and fine-grained tannins. 93 Points Wine Spectator An engaging red, featuring a subtle floral detail up front that mingles with plum paste and graphite. Shows good concentration, yet there’s a sense of refinement and purity, with blackberry, cassis and herb shadings at the core, plus minerally acidity that lends freshness. Everything culminates around edgy but well-integrated tannins, and there’s a balsamic twinge to the finish. A year or two wouldn’t hurt in letting this settle in. Tannat, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2038.
