“… some gorgeous rich liquorice and cassis fruits… the texture stands out for its silkiness. Clearly a very good wine, which opens up slowly and carefully. Classic but with depth and grip, continuing a run of successful vintages at Malartic.” – Wine Enthusiast

“Cellar selection … this is a well-crafted wine. It combines richness with sophisticated tannins, dense black fruits and considerable potential. Ripe berry flavors give depth.” – Decanter
