"Bright ruby. Floral-accented aromas of raspberry, candied cherry and white pepper. Supple and appealingly fruity, offering jammy red and dark berry flavors that pick up spiciness with air. Finishes with slow-building tannins, a lingering raspberry note and a pleasantly chewy quality." Domaine de  Beaurenard 

"Lush, with velvety fig, blackberry and black cherry fruit flavors layered with warm ganache, black licorice and fruitcake notes. Offers a polished feel through the finish, revealing some latent briary grip. Best from 2015 through 2025." Wine Spectator, October 2014
