  1/17/2021 - Benoit Hardy Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Nose on crushed strawberries, very intense at the beginning, which will become more diffuse afterwards before becoming completely silent.
  The attack is minty, I would say almost lemon, to then unwrap red fruit in quantity. It is dense and silky, still with a predominance of strawberry, to which will be added a spicy side that will gain momentum with aeration, but only in the mouth. Because, on the nose, the wine will completely die out over the tasting.
  On the palate, the wine remains complex, and it reveals itself in layers, all thanks to a perfectly worked balance. He turns out to be perfectly mature and plays his score brilliantly, everything is there, freshness, fruit, velvet, complexity. The finish hits the palate with fine, noble tannins and pleasant length. At the end, it will take a floral turn. Very well, too bad the nose does not match the mouth.
