    "Dans l'ensemble, ce vin d'un rubis-grenat moyennement foncé et assez maigre et manquante de concentration. Il révèle des notes d'herbes, de cuir fin, de boîte à épices, de groseille et de cerise." Source : R. Parker (10/02)

    The wine

    Harvested late in order to ensure that the grapes are fully ripe, this Pomerol is of an exceptionally high standard. Very well-balanced, rich and complex, the wines combine woody and fruity flavours (cherries, blackcurrants etc.). It has an impressive capacity to age in good vintages.
