Here's the Burghound review:
'In contrast to the expressiveness of many wines in the range, this is restrained to the point of reticence though aggressive swirling liberating grudging aromas of black fruit, wet stone and lovely floral notes. The dense, powerful and tautly muscular medium-bodied flavors ooze a fine extract that confers a textured and almost chewy mouth feel to the fantastically long and explosive finish. This wonderfully impressive effort is built for the long haul and about the only nit is a subtle touch of warmth that doesn't detract significantly from the sense of harmony. A real stunner of a Roncerets and highly recommended if you have the requisite patience.' 92-95 points
As Nico put it to me, this is more of a connosieur's wine. The bracing amount of extract and minerality in the wine, coupled with the 30% whole cluster use in 2009, create a fantastic tension of elements. A geek's delight....
