Rating: Robert Parker 90/100, Guide Hachette 1* (Very successful wine), Bettane & Desseauve 14.5/20 (Immediate pleasure)
“This 2008, patiently aged for nearly two and a half years, has not yet reached its peak. We already appreciate its dark, brilliant color, its notes of morello cherry, black olive, and spices, and its dense, generous, and silky palate, enlivened by a fresh and long finish.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2012)
