  • What the experts say...

    Ce vin s'est toujours montré opulent, riche et fabuleusement concentré. Malgré sa robe fortement ambrée, il conserve un généreux fruité, et se révèle doux et bien glycériné en milieu de bouche. Le nez complexe, aux notes de truffe, de café, de moka, de chocolat et de cerise noire, introduit un ensemble tout à la fois gras, mûr et exotique, qui s'impose incontestablement comme l'une des belles réussites de son millésime.(...)
