“A beautiful deep red color with ruby highlights. A crisp nose of jammy red and black berries with floral notes. Soft on the palate, with moderate concentration, driven by seductive, fresh, and lingering fruit. Polished tannins. A Bordeaux that is already very enjoyable.” (Le Guide des Vins 2021 - Gilbert & Gaillard)
