  February 20, 2019 - Medium bodied, open, fresh, bright and earthy, with tobacco and leafy aromas mixed with red fruits. Soft and earthy, the finish is not, but the fruits are fresh, with an earthy, leafy edge.

  December 28, 2014 - Scettico sull'acquisto, ma curioso di assaggiare un margaux acquistato alla grande distribuzine a 15€ ,mi sono ricreduto all'apertura,colore rubino,subito chiaro il cabernet un po nascosto il merlot,la marasca si sente subito seguite da piacevoli note balsamiche e speziate, buona presenza di tannino morbido e delicato , buona acidità, chiusura leggermente amarognola,nel complesso buono.
