Written Notes

Medium intense, brick red colour. Opulent, classic, and seductive nose with many layers revealing cigarbox, black currants, and roasted coffee. Medium-bodied palate is extremely balanced with vivid acidity, refined round tannins and intense fruitiness. A long concentrated finish with subtleness and elegance. A great, classic and sophisticated claret.
  • 94p
Top shoulder fill. Bright ruby, thin orange rim. Rich, cassis, cedar, leather, touch of sweet tobacco. Floral and scented. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, mellow but rich, lovely palate. Very refreshing and long.
