Reviews

1 étoile - Vin très réussi
"... Bien ouvert, le nez fleure bon la griotte, le cassis et la racine d'iris, nuancés d'une touche grillée. Ronde, charnue, soutenue par des tanins fins et soyeux, la bouche se tend agréablement dans une finale dynamique à l'amertume réglissée. Charmeur et à boire."
