Notes: RVF 16/20, Guide Hachette 3*** (Exceptional Wine)
“The color is dark, almost black, heralding a concentrated and intense nose that blends roasted and meaty notes with spices (pepper, cinnamon) and well-ripened black and red fruits. On the palate, it is full-bodied, silky, and velvety. A perfect reflection of the bouquet, it reveals toasty oak that blends beautifully with the fruit, all enhanced by spices and licorice.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2011)
