  • What the experts say...

    Des arômes opulents de chêne doux grillé et vanillé et de fruits rouges et mûrs jaillissent littéralement de ce 1990 séduisant. La bouche se porterait mieux de davantage de profondeur, mais il s'agit, dans l'ensemble, d'un vin richement fruité, souple, élégant et intéressant (...). Source : Robert Parker (1/93)
