Tasting notes
"A juicy, fruity red with blackberry, chocolate and walnut character. Some coffee, too. It’s medium-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a pretty finish."
James Suckling : 91-92
"Deep ruby, purple reflections, discreet brightening on rim. Fresh blackberry fruit, dark cherry, delicate nougat, fine floral touch. Medium body, fresh blackberry and plum, mineral texture, salty touch on the finish, seems light footed and fresh."
Peter Moser : 90-92
