Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Coup de Coeur, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
“It has it all: a deep, dense color; a complex, harmonious bouquet of red berries with a hint of toast; a full-bodied, velvety, rich palate, supported by firm yet ‘civilized’ tannins. One would be tempted to taste it today, but this great wine deserves a little patience and will be fully appreciated in three or four years, or even longer.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins). A must-try from the Libourne region!
