“Lovely intense garnet robe. Elegant nose of blackcurrant, redcurrant, blackberry, wood and cocoa with a hint of menthol. Generous on the palate highlighting the fruit. Dense extract, smooth with polished tannins. Slightly elongated and firm on the finish. The wood is there. Pleasant overall.”
Alain Chameyrat, critic and taster, Gilbert et Gaillard Guide – Tasted in May 2015
