Wine Critic Reviews

Gilbert & Gaillard (87): Beautiful robe with violet reflections, sustained. Delicate nose of ripe black and red fruits, with a woody background. The palate displays a silky texture, well-integrated tannins, and develops intense fruity aromas. Promising material.

James Suckling (89): Aromas of ripe plums and mulberries with dark spices, chocolate and wet stones. Medium-bodied and round-textured. Fine tannins with a polished texture and a sleek, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
