Falstaff: 91 Punkte
"Dark ruby garnet, opaque core, violet reflections, subtle edge brightening. Inviting notes of cloves, some nougat, black cherries, some cassis, liquorice, tobacco notes. Juicy, elegant, firm tannins, chocolaty, somewhat drying on the finish, needs time." - Peter Moser (04/2026)
Jane Anson: 87 Punkte
"Medium intensity inky colour, dark berry fruits, with roasted coffee and firm tannins. Dubourdieu family estate." (04/2026)
Decanter: 89 Punkte
"Polished aromas reflect complexity of ripe cool blue fruit with coniferous lift presaging a palate with rather powdery tannins that build over time. The finish is a bit tight and not quite astringent, which worries me. Let's see how the barrel aging will affect the wine, but for now a cautious score." (04/2026)
Vinum: 87 Punkte
"Stark vom Barrique geprägte Nase, Vanille, Süssholz über Waldbeeren; der Gaumen ist mittelkräftig, die Tannine vom Holz drücken die Frucht in den Hintergrund, eichenwürziges Finale, endet leicht trocknend." - Adrian van Velsen (04/2026)
