Score 15/20 · Drink 2008-2022, James Lawther MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jun 2022

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Aged 18 months in barrel (40% new oak). Evolved colour. Muddy and less distinct on the nose than the 2000. Some sweetness to the palate but little fruit expression. Tannins green and edgy but the acidity does provide a bit of length on the finish. Unlikely to improve further. (JL)

Earthy red fruit with a slight leafy green touch. Just a little underripe perhaps – or is it a Cabernet Franc element? Quite angular. (RH)

Pale rim. Light, ‘pleasant’ nose. Pretty green and austere. Just not trying. (JR)

Round black cherry nose – very rich and modern. Bit awkward and unfriendly on the palate. (JR)
