  • What the experts say...

    Ce vin ample paraîtra peut-être trop énorme au goût de certains dégustateurs. Outre une robe d'un rubis-noir, il présente un bouquet mûr et explosif de prune, de goudron et de truffe. Puissant, dense et alcoolique en bouche, il est tout simplement gigantesque.(...) Source: Robert Parker (1/89)
