DECANTER: "Right from the nose this has rich, deep cassis and dark fruit notes, as well as a lovely juicy vibrancy through the palate. There are firm tannins that have some vibrancy to them. Although it’s not as persistent in structure as in 2016 and 2015, this is an extremely successful wine in the 2017 vintage. Aged in 33% new oak. A yield of 26hl/h, so there will be reduced volumes – an estimated 140,000 bottles this year. Fortunately the gravelly heart of the vineyard was not affected by the frost. There is an austerity to the tannins but it's still hugely enjoyable. Drinking Window 2021 - 2032"

JAMES SUCKLING: "Light notes of flowers and chocolate powder across red berries. The palate has a smooth and elegant feel with a core of very juicy red-fruit flavor and a wrap of fine tannin. Drink or hold."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Spice, flowers, espresso bean, red plum and black cherry scents mingle on the nose. On the palate, this is way cush yet spicy with a cheerful, red fruit character. The wine was made from blending 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 13% Petit Verdot."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Focused and pure, with unadorned cassis, cherry, plum pit and chalky mineral notes working in unison. The finish stretches out nicely, showing a violet echo. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2031."

FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, zart kräuterwürzig unterlegte dunkle Waldbeerfrucht, Nuancen von Cassis, tabakige Noten. Straff, saftig, lebendig strukturiert, ein Hauch von Nougat, mineralisch und anhaftend, schwarze Kirschen im Nachhall, gutes Entwicklungspotenzial."
