Product Description
95 points Vinous
"Bright purple. A highly expressive, spice-accented bouquet evokes fresh black raspberry, blueberry, candied flowers, incense and Indian spices. Palate- staining red end blue fruit compote flavors are complicated by hints of cracked pepper and violet pastille, and a black cardamom nuance gains strength in the glass. Discreet, pliant tannins add gentle grip to a very long, incisive finish that strongly echoes the floral and mineral notes."
94 points Wine Spectator
"Tightly wound, with a solid core of dark currant, raspberry and blackberry reduction notes, laced with sweet tobacco, singed mesquite and sanguine details. Shows piercing focus on the finish, with serious length as the mineral edge lingers. Best from 2021 through 2035."

"100% Sérine and Syrah (50 years old). 1/3 destemmed. Terroir: Landonne, Chavaroche, Côte de Rozier, Les Rochains and Lancement. Ageing: 12 months in new and one-year-old oak plus 10 months in foudre (Allier – Tronçais – Jupilles).
Mid purplish crimson. Very heady cocktail of blossom and warm stones on the nose. The tannins have been beautifully worked. This is a real charmer with delicacy and finesse. You want to drink this straight away! Supple and transparent with lightly sandy tannins. Evidence of such a gentle hand… Entrancing. 18.5/20 points."
