Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Medium/full bodied, with an earthy, truffle, smoky, espresso, blackberry, plum and dark cherry filled nose. Soft, plush and polished, the ripe, sweet fruits linger on your palate.
VertdeVin
The nose is aromatic, elegant, fine and offers a certain concentration. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and fine notes of mocha, oak associated with a hint of wild red fruits, cassis bud, fine touches of violets as well as slight notes of fresh cherry, minerality / flint (terroir), spices and a hint of tobacco. The palate is fruity, mineral, elegant, silky, harmonious, slightly aerial and offers a beautiful definition, a nice acid frame, a nice definition, tension, a fine suavity as well as a nice freshness. On the palate this wine expresses blackberry, cassis and fine notes of plum associated with touches of cherry, raspberry, oak, mocha, flint as well as discreet notes of tobacco and cloves . Tannins are fine, elegant and (very) slightly firm / youth. Good length. There are fine notes of cocoa grilled on persistence.
Robert Parker Wine Advocate
A brilliant success again, this blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot is a medium-bodied, impressively concentrated wine with copious quantities of red and black fruits. Licorice, roasted herbs and a touch of background oak are present in this slightly precocious wine, which should be accessible when released. It has the depth to evolve for 20 or more years. Talk about a severe selection – only 41% made it into the grand vin!
