"A rich and subtle nose blending notes of blackberry and elderberry, balanced and precise, well-represented for its vintage with freshness and substance, avoiding the excessive extraction and over-ripeness of many of its peers. Very charming." (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France)

Wine Enthusiast

Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100

About wine:

With a medicinal note, this is a wine that shows great potential. At the moment, it is firm, dry, and deeply tannic. The volume brings promise, offering rich fruitiness in the future. Impressive and concentrated.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2014 guide) 90/100

About wine:

It is a lively, rich wine with beautiful silky tannins and a chalky style, with notes of dark chocolate and blackberry. Full-bodied and juicy.
