3.9/5 (7 customers)

Rating: RVF 16.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 16/20, Le Figaro 16/20, Citation Guide Hachette
This 2009 opens on the nose with fruitiness underpinned by sweet spices (cinnamon, star anise), all enveloped by aromas of black fruits (blueberries, elderberries). The palate has a rich attack, with high-quality tannins offering a smooth, supple, and velvety structure, leading to a finish of menthol, eucalyptus, and red fruits. • Delivered in the original wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France •
