Description

By VerdeVin in 2019 (93-94pts)
The nose is fruity and offers a fine richness and a fine fleshiness. It reveals notes of ripe/fleshy cassis and small notes of fleshy Gariguette strawberry and small notes of chocolate associated with fine touches of raspberry as well as liquorice, green cardamom and a subtle hint of vanilla. The palate is fruity, juicy, well-balanced and offers a juicy/acidulous frame, gourmandize, suavity as well as a fine intensity and a small melodious side. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe/juicy cherry, ripe/juicy cassis and small notes of raspberry associated with fine touches of tonka bean, chocolate as well as discreet hints of spices, dry violet and a hint of sweet spices. Good length and persistence. tannins are elegant and structuring.

By Wine Enthusiast (WE91-93)
A wine that shows excellent structure, with ripe fruit and soft, warm tannins. It has weight while retaining its crisp acidity and intense black-currant flavor.
