"This is a vibrant and firmly concentrated Carignan with blackberry, herb and mineral flavours and fine structure."
- Raymond Chan
"100% Carignan from a solitary group of vines planted in 1890. Not giving much away on nose. Beautiful, slightly wild fruit – pretty alpine strawberries in a bear hug of grizzly tannins. Real ‘Goldilocks and the three bears’ kind of wine! Bright sharp fruit. Mouth-watering
… acidity. Gorgeous balance in view of the diametrical contrast between tannins and fruit, alcohol and freshness."
— Jancis Robinson MW
"Exuberant and fragrant, the wine displays dark berry, cocoa, black tea, hazelnut and warm spice aromas on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate that is fleshy and smooth. Wonderfully fruited and mouthfilling, this is an impressive expression of the variety."
— Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
