Robert Parker

“ This superb 2012 Tres Picos is one of the best values for money in the world of Grenache-based wines. This full-bodied beauty boasts a deep ruby color, along with notes of strawberry and black cherry, hints of lavender and crushed stone, soft tannins, and a full-bodied, flavorful palate. Best enjoyed within the next 3 to 4 years.” (Wine Advocate, Nov. 2013 – Robert Parker)

Review by Mr. JEAN FRANCOIS P. Published on July 3, 2015

A ouvrir la veille !? 5 heures avant le repas n'est encore pas assez ! Le lendemain, on sens beaucoup moins de puissance et elle est au service de la complexité, profondeur, ... Superbe !
