Robert Parker

(2010 Vintage Notes)

A new vintage, the 2010 was rated: Robert Parker 87/100
Terres de Truffes is one of the winery’s flagship wines. A rich and powerful wine with aromas of jammy black fruits (blueberries, blackcurrants) supported by notes of sweet spices, licorice, and flowers (violets). Beautiful prune aromas on the palate, with well-integrated tannins and a fresh finish, characteristic of the terroir.

Note and review by Mr. Romain G. Published on 07/12/2014

A well-made and very enjoyable wine, but I don't think the price difference compared to the basic vintage (which is 30% cheaper) is justified.
