Robert Parker (97)

The 2016 La Muse, a composition of 93% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec, is still very youthful at this stage. It has alluring scents of minerally Morello cherry, sage, desiccated rose petals and the first hints of maturity coming through as wafts of mushroom and cigars. The powerful, full-bodied palate is harmoniously balanced, with bright acidity, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish. It deserves several more years to develop in bottle.

James Suckling (96)

This is a fabulous, merlot-based red with blackberries, blueberries and rust. Ink, too. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. 93 per cent merlot with the rest in cabernet franc and malbec.
