  • What the experts say...

    (...) Il paraît extrêmement prometteur, à en juger par son nez de feuille de tabac, d'épices, de cèdre, de cerise noire et de groseille. La bouche frise l'exotisme avec ses arômes charnus et très corsés de viande et d'herbes rôties. Ce vin intense et riche a indiscutablement un grand potentiel. Source : Robert Parker (10/97)

    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.
