Rating from the Hachette Wine Guide: 2** (Remarkable Wine) + Editor’s Choice
“Whether white or red, this flagship cuvée from the Buzet winery once again lives up to its reputation. It adds a new “ Favorite ” to its long list of accolades with this deep garnet-colored 2011 vintage, featuring an expressive and intense nose of ripe fruit blended with a subtle woody note. On the palate, one appreciates its roundness, fullness, generosity, and velvety structure. Power and allure come together in this Buzet, which can be enjoyed young or allowed to age for a few years. ” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014)
