- James Suckling: 98/100 – So firm and taut, but also so delicious, balanced and tempting to drink now. A full-bodied, well-saturated, generous and layered wine. Made from all clone 4 cabernet sauvignon grapes grown in block 4 of this noted single vineyard. Blackcurrants, black cherries and 90% cacao chocolate, with accents of violets, iron and orange zest. The tannins are super fine grained, giving lift and texture that will help it age well for a long time. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.
