"It is brightly expressed on the nose showing dark plum, mulberry, floral, thyme and roasted beet characters. The palate is succulent and beautifully fruited, offering plump mouthfeel and fine tannins, leading to a lingering silky finish. A lovely fruit-expressive wine showing immediate appeal. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Feb 2018

"Cough linctus and caraway, shifting to the earthy fragrance of crushed petals and just-rained on hedgerows. But the palate just soars away from the earth. Deep, focused, spice-laden fruit, etched with orange-citrus acidity. Layered and long and clad in silk-woven tannins. This really is the aristocrat of the Languedoc appellations. Glides. Complete" Jancis Robinson, Master of Wine
