Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

On the nose, blueberry, chocolate and hints of tobacco. The palette is medium to full-bodied, dry but smooth and filled with sour cherries, cranberries. Long finish but a bit unbalanced with the tannins. Definitely benefited from decanting. Tastes like a different wine from when I first opened it. Pair with a roast beef or steak but with spices that could stand up to this wine.

rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, tamarind, cloves, eucalyptus, and tamari. The flavours are also rich and savoury: black olives, leather, dried fruit, oregano and chocolate. Significant tannins, full bodied, dry and a long finish make this wine "ready to pair" with grilled red meats after decanting. Or cellar for a few more years.

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Blackberry, tobacco, India ink, and a little blueberry in the aroma. The taste is rich black raspberry with medium-high acidity and loads of tannins. The tannins are somewhat rounded, but could definitely use a few years. Decant this for a few hours and have it with rare steak.

David Skinner rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Dark ruby with a tight slightly brickish rim. The nose is full of blackberry, cassis and tobacco notes. Dark fruit and earthy on the palate with plenty of tannins and decent acidity. A long finish with persistent tannin.

This wine would do well with grilled lamb chops.

Sylvain Segard rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Blackberry and cassis aromas with eucalyptus. Extra dry. Agressive tannins tend to overwhelm the fruit flavours. This wine should be set aside for a minimum of three to five years before enjoying.
