Notes : RVF 16/20, Guide hachette 3***(Exceptional wine)
"Dark, almost black, announcing a concentrated, intense nose that blends roasted, meaty notes with spices (pepper, cinnamon) and ripe black and red fruit. The palate is full-bodied, silky and velvety. A perfect echo of the bouquet, it reveals a toasty woodiness that blends perfectly with the fruit, enhanced by spices and licorice". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2011)
