Notes de dégustation
Robert Parker (Wine Advocate N° 194) Mai 2011 : 87-89 sleeper of the vintage
Another sleeper of the vintage, this elegant 2010 offers up notes of cedar, loamy soil, black currants and black cherries. Medium-bodied and complex already with supple tannins as well as a nicely layered mouthfeel and finish, it should be consumed over the next decade.
Neal Martin, Avril 2011 : 88-90
There is good intensity on the nose with crème de cassis, plum and violets, quite opulent in style. The palate is medium-bodied with good tension, pure blackberry and plum fruits with a linear but focused finish. Very fine. Tasted April 2011.
DECANTER : 15,5/20
Good blackcurrant fruit and good balance and length. Drink 2014-18. (15.5 points)
Jancis Robinson : 16/20
Scented and lifted and lively. Very very slightly, light and skeletal. Very dry on the end but very classical.
Le FIGARO : 13,5/20
