September 27, 2023 - Dark ruby colour, medium bodied, well integrated tanins. On nose, cassis, plums, black fruits.
On palate, freshness, a lot of fruits, blackberry, plums, cherry, all is well balanced and providing beautiful flavours. The final is long.
Enjoyed it a lot. -

February 18, 2023 - Une superbe robe rubis intense. Un nez de thym, armoise, prune, cèdre. Une bouche suave avec des épices, du thym, des prunes. Il semble un peu fermé. Les tanins sont souples et délicieux. Un peu de patience est de mise.
