Note : Bettane & Desseauve 14,5/20
"The nose is dense, smoky, very ripe, with black olive accents. The texture on the palate is compact, still tight with powerful tannins". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A full, unctuous Rasteau, with harmonious fruit and fine balance. A great success!

a very powerful, full-bodied wine with a long finish. A little marvel that deserves to age a few more years.
