| | Tasted by maxima on 12/28/2013 & rated 93 points: Pas de carafe ici, on voit que le temps a fait son œuvre, très beau vin ample, gouteux mais d`un équilibre impeccable!
Assemblage des cépages : 90% Syrah, 10% Viognier.
Conseiller technique : Stéphane Derenoncourt (Châteaux Pavie-Macquin, Canon-la-Gaffelière, La Gaffelière, Smith Haut Lafitte…etc)
Le nez est très intense, du poivre et du thym avec les framboises et le cassis.
En bouche, une explosion de fruits (crême de cassis, framboises) et de poivre fraichement moulu.
Il y a beaucoup de mâche et de matière. C'est très long en finale. Tout simplement délicieux. (1862 views) |

| | Tasted by maxima on 12/5/2013 & rated 92 points: Un des rares 5 étoiles du guide des vins de Phaneuf...pleinement mérité!
Un nez sur les cerises et le poivre avec un peu de violettes, belle complexité.
En bouche, ample, dense et complexe. Du fruit croquant et du poivre avec une belle acidité, fort délicieux. Les tannins sont bien enrobés et la finale très longue.
Encore superbe et fort gouteux! (1764 views) |

| | Tasted by maxima on 11/5/2010 & rated 93 points: Superbe sur toute la ligne!
Un nez sublime sur les cerises et les épices de même qu'une composante florale fort complexe.
En bouche, beaucoup de matière. Du fruit d'une belle pureté, de la garrigue et du poivre for délicieux. Les tannins amples mais bien recouverts font de ce vin une belle réussite. Finale très longue et bien persistante.
Sublime et en pente ascendante encore pour 4-5 années!!! (1713 views) |

| | Tasted by bacchusnyon on 1/30/2010 & rated 90 points: needs to be decanted and opened at least one hour, tannic, but lots of body, tar, meaty, and oriental spices. Perfect with lamb. (1654 views) |

| | Tasted by pikemasterflash on 4/20/2008 & rated 88 points: Bought this wine on a K&L suggestion (but from the Hollywood strore where I don't know anyone). This wine makes me prefer CA Syrah instead. OK but nothing I would serve to my friends. (1911 views) |
| | Tasted by MLD11 on 11/20/2007 & rated 89 points: Lot of fruit and gobs of tannin. Very big wine. After two days though the structure there to be seen and some aromatics from the Viognier. One for the long term I think. (1699 views) |
