Falstaff: 91 Punkte
"Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feiner Edelholztouch, dunkle Waldbeeren, Brombeerkonfit, tabakige Nuancen, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, rotbeerig, frischer Säurebogen, mineralisch-salzig, ein leichtfüßiger, lebendiger Speisenbegleiter mit Ribiselfinish." - Peter Moser (04/2025)
Vinum: 90 Punkte
"Leuchtendes Rubinrot; nobler Duft, feine Röstnoten, Kirschen, Kräuter, Pflaumen; am Gaumen gradlinig, konzentriert, kernige Gerbstoffe, knackige Frucht, leicht trocknend im Abgang. Dürfte mit dem Ausbau noch zulegen."
Jane Anson: 91 Punkte
"Medium intensity ruby, redcurrant and cedar, highly perfumed aromatics, this starts off with an attractive kick of fresh fruits that are vivid, not stalky, but certainly high acidity with a mouthwatering signoff, balanced by sweet oak. Careful winemaking on display, slate texture tannins, no need to wait too long but there are hidden depths that will become more evident over ageing. Harvest 24 September to 8 October. Same family since 1998, Jean-Charles Sioen owner and estate director, living between Belgium and St Emilion. Cabernet Franc aged in amphora. Organic certified." (04/2025)
The Drinks Business: 91-93+ Punkte
"Violets, peonies and a lovely waft of cedar. A hint of walnut oil, more usually found in riper vintages and maybe a little Kalamata olive tapenade. Black cherry and mulberry fruit. Plush and with very soft yet tactile tannins, this glides effortlessly over the palate. The steep upward progression here continues, certainly when one takes note of the challenges of the vintage." - Colin Hay (05/2025)
Decanter: 92 Punkte
"Filling and juicy, this is great with cool fresh aspects and some strawberry and blueberry fruit. It’s clean and definitely ends more mineral than fruity but with such length and intensity of flavour. Great personality and character, full of flesh, ripeness and balance. Not the most concentrated but what is there is really well done! Precise winemaking on show. Organic." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)
