Decanter (99 points):
"Fresh and a bit closed, but starting to transform now with some subtle sous bois notes. Such an elegant, fine and juicy wine, with real depth and pinpoint acidity. Like a fur coat, this is ultimate Châteauneuf elegance, showing extraordinary length, balance and tension. All destemmed, matured in old oak foudres."
The Wine Cellar Insider (98 points):
Flowers are the first thing you notice before discovering all the spice, cloves, kirsch, and dark cherries on the nose. On the palate, the wine is silky, elegant, fresh, supple, and refined. The kirsch shows a beautiful purity and spicy character, along with its refined tannins and peppery strawberries that kick in at the end of the finish."
La Revue du Vin de France (98 points):
Oversat: "En rigtig saftig palette med denne perfekte og lækre frugt. Hvilken beherskelse og hvilken sanselighed i aromaerne og bærrene, det er en stor finesse af stil. Juicen viser sig på samme måde med klasse og krafthåndtering. Et materiale, der er både pulpagtigt, fløjlsagtigt og fordøjeligt med suveræn tanninspænding."
