"This is the best ever, with fabulous, silky refinement and length. It’s full-bodied, with a balance of fruit and spice with chocolate and berry. The texture is really so gorgeous. Polished and long. Goes on for minutes. Try in 2017."

"Aromas of graphite, black currant, plum, cedar, blue flowers and tobacco emerge from this full-bodied red. Made with Cabernet Franc and a drop of Petit Verdot, the structured palate offers blackberries, licorice, clove and a toasted note alongside velvety tannins. It shows great finesse, especially for the torrid 2011 vintage. Drink 2016–2026."
