Critics Ratings

A bit step up in aromatic elegance and overall finesse with perfumed notes of red berry fruit, minerals and a hint of underbrush that merges into sweet, rich and round flavors that are dusty, pure and display better overall integration of the underlying structure as well as outstanding finishing precision and punch.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (April 2006)

‘Medium cherry-red color. Delicate aroma of red cherry lifted by a floral topnote. Suave, ripe and pure, with modest body and a juicy quality to its enticing red fruit flavors. Here the tannins are broader than those of the Vendanges Selectionnees.’ - Neal Martin, Vinous (March 2007)
