Notes: Guide Hachette 2** (Remarkable wine) + Coup de Coeur, Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
"It has everything: a deep, dense color; a complex, harmonious bouquet of red berries, slightly toasted; a full, velvety, fleshy palate, supported by tight but 'civilized' tannins. We would love 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!

Fruity but very marked by alcohol. Quite common, ultimately.
