18.5/20 POINTS - JANCIS ROBINSON! 95+POINTS - WINE FRONT!
 

"50% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon. Looks more evolved than the Bahans. Wonderfully round and developed and subtle. More subtle than La Mission with a drier finish. Chewy end still there - and in with a fight. This does not seem to have fully unfurled yet and should make a great wine eventually. Putty and minerals. Still quite tight!" - Jancis Robinson, tasted 2011

 

"Violet and warm bricks " classic HB character " lead pencil and shavings, slight liquorice perfume, cherries macerated, pinch of capsicum. Medium bodied, crisp acidity, redcurrant and blackcurrant, light grip of tannin, suffused with sweet herbs and a little delicious decay. Lovely style. Acid on cleans up on the finish. Was 95 or 96 points. Maybe 95+ is about right, as there's a lot of suave charm left to deliver." - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
