"With its deep garnet-red color, this wine harmoniously blends berry fruit with hints of sweet spices from the ageing process. Courteous, the oak respects the raw material, the whole retaining a round, dense flesh, backed by present but discreet tannins. A fine balance". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2015 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
With its dark garnet color, this wine harmoniously blends berry fruit with hints of sweet spices from the ageing process. Courteous, the woodiness respects the raw material, the whole retaining a round, dense flesh, backed by present but discreet tannins. A fine balance.

Unquestionably the best red wine in my cellar for the price. My 5 rating reflects that of the specialists.

Not as fine as the 2010, but less expensive too... a nice Medoc all the same.
