Trotteville, Using a high percentage of Cabernet Franc in the blend at 58%, with the remainder being Merlot, the perfume opens with floral, chocolate mint, fennel, stone and red with black fruit aromas. Medium bodied, the wine ends with an elegant, soft, licorice and red plum finish. winecellarinsider.com

Score 93-94/100 · James Suckling

A love the bright acidity and the citrus peel and red fruits on this. Then there is minerals such as flint and chalk. Full and velvety with a long, long finish. Turns silky. Best ever from here. 42 percent Merlot and 58 percent Cabernet Franc.jamessuckling.com

Score 17/20 · Decanter

Dense, savoury nose with just a hint of oak. Solid attack followed by limestone terroir freshness and firm, muscular tannins. As always a little austere at this stage. James Lawther, decanter.com

Racy, easy, fruity nose. Some succulence and juice though no great intensity. Very correct and even a little austere. Lots of terroir effect on the finish? Appetising but for the long term and not that concentrated. Quite intriguing. jancisrobinson.com
