Decanter: 96 Points
The team's work at Domaine de la Commaraine is truly exciting and the potential can be seen in this sample blend of the new vintage. The wine boasts a forward luxurious blackberry and pomegranate aroma with hints of violets spice and smoke. The texture is lush and dense but abundant with well-managed tannins substantial extract and an immensely long finish. The grapes are from the eponymous 3.63-hectare Clos although some have been declassified by régisseur Paul Krug who formerly worked with Pedro Para. This domaine is definitely one to watch.

Jasper Morris: 92-95 Points
The blend has been made up for this sample. Some of it has been racked but some not. The nose is powerful with structure definitely ungiving. The grapes are pretty ripe here with a good tension behind and many layers of dark fruit flavour The succulence takes precedence over any rigidity of structure. There remains a slight bitterness at the finish which I take as a good thing for long term ageing.
