Bergerie du Capucin - Larmanela 2012
1*Étoile
Hachette
90/100
Robert Parker
“A cut above the rest, the 2012 Larmanela starts off with a reductive character but opens up beautifully with time. Rich and full-bodied, with plenty of black fruit, meaty notes, chocolate, crushed rock, and truffle, it is a wine with supple, rounded tannins. It is a seductive wine. ” (Wine Advocate 2015 - Robert Parker)
