"The bright reflections of the robe announce a cuvée with a strong character. This is confirmed throughout the tasting. The intense nose combines blackberry and blueberry aromas with mineral nuances. Built on fine, caressing tannins, the palate is full-bodied, supple, deliciously round and superbly long". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)
