Critics’ scores
‘A fine addition to the recent roster,’ said Neal Martin (Vinous), though he added that other vintages would ‘eclipse it’. He rated the wine 92-94
‘A brilliant wine in the making,’ said William Kelley (Wine Advocate), who awarded it 94-96 points. Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW (The Wine Independent) gave it a score of 90-92 points and Jane Anson gave it the higher score of 96-points.
Fair Value analysis
The new release appears to compare favourably to the most recent vintages, but the Liv-ex Fair Value methodology suggests it is overpriced.
The 2017 and 2014 vintages in particular have better scores and are currently available for £737 and £700 respectively.
Although more expensive at £1,570 per dozen, the 2019 still looks good value with a score of 97-points.
