Wine Enthusiast - R. Voss (USA) August 2012
Buying Guide : 87 While the aromas speak of wood aging,the fruit comes trough on the palate. It is firm, full and dry, and the fruity acidity and fresh black currant flavor backs up the structure.

Irish Times Magazine - John Wilson (Ireland) December 2008
"True traditionalists will probably insist on drinking Bordeaux with their turkey. If so, they could do worse than trying the latest offering in the Thomas Barton range. Decant an hour or so beforehand to smooth out the tannins, allowing the flavours of blackcurrant, mint and tobacco to develop further. Impressive wine from one of the great vintages in Bordeaux."

Andreas Larsson Tasting - Andreas Larsson (France) March 2008
Andreas Larsson, best sommelier of the world 2007:"The nose is charming and on the modern side with some roasted oak and mocha, dark plums and cassis, the palate has a fine structure with tight tannins, potent but still young, I would like to keep it for a 2-3 year period to show its potential."
