93-96 points Jasper Morris
From vines at least 80 years old right across the property, not just the principal block. The cuvée will represent about 8000 bottles. Generous rich purple, the nose offering something more sumptuous than the Classique. It starts discreetly though with a certain plumpness, then it opens out quite forcefully on the palate to much more structure behind. Then sweetly oaked, just needs an ounce more drive to it. 100% new wood.
95 points Decanter
There is impressive concentration here given the vintage, with a blackberry and plum fruit coloured with a profoundly savoury earthy quality and hints of wild herb and menthol. The texture is dense and structured but not heavy or astringent. This forceful, powerful wine is produced exclusively from vines more than a century old, yet it never loses sight of balance. It will be even better with a bit of time in the bottle and should age well for thirty years or more.
