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 ripe black and red fruits. The palate is full-bodied, silky, and velvety. Perfectly echoing the bouquet, it reveals toasted oak that blends beautifully with the fruit, all enhanced by spices and licorice." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2011)
