Notes : Guide Hachette 1*Etoile, IWC Red Winemaker of the Year 2009
"Long maceration and ageing in barrel and tank contribute to the bouquet of jammy fruit and vanilla. On the palate, red fruits, with a roasted touch, then notes of prune and finally caramel, all supported by present tannins that are beginning to round out". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2010)
