Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Full bodied and flavourful. A lovely Haut-Medoc blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Merlot (50%), and Petit Verdot (10%). Aromas of purple and black fruit, leather, dried oregano, smoke and warm spice. Full bodied, smooth tannins and medium + acidity and a lengthy finish. Enjoy with a lovely rare steak. Tasted again in 2020, still lots of dark, vibrant fruit and spice. Plenty of life left.

Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is a Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Verdot from the Haut Medoc. Plenty of fruit; plum and black cherry on the nose and palate as well as some smoke and cocoa. Lush with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Medium finish. Tasted January 15, 2017.
