Written Notes

Le nez associe la pivoine, la guimauve, la violette et le bulbe d’iris. La bouche est l’une des plus sensuelles du millésime avec cette finale florale qui pousse à
l’élévation. Le rebond en finale fait vibrer : émotion garantie. 96-97

  • 97p

Dark purple colour with violet hue and almost black core. Opulent nose with ripe blackberries and black stone fruit, hints of sloe in the background. Mulberries and also hints of wild strawberries. Elegant floral hints of violets in the background. Subtle oak with refined toasting. On the palate well balanced with velvety tannins and very juicy fruit, dark berries and black stone fruit. Again floral hints on the palate complemented by refined toasting. A rich wine with freshness and excellent length.
