What others think of this wine...

Christelle Guibert and James Lawther MW, Decanter Magazine says:

Very aromatic, intense, lots of ripe fruit, some spice. Rich on the nose, but has some zestiness; very expressive too. Good attack on the palate, lively acidity with lots of nervosity. Ripe apricot and spice with floral characters. Complex, aromatic palate, but nicely balanced with a fine structure and decent length. 2010 - 2013. Four stars, 18 points.
