Note de dégustation
90/92 Millésime 2010 - NEAL MARTIN / dégustation primeur
What a lovely bouquet on this Haut-Medoc with violets, cassis and blackberries...very
Margaux like. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannins, nice focus and
tension here with good mineralité on the finish. Great potential. Tasted April 2011.
89-92 Millésime 2010 - WINE SPECTATOR James Molesworth / dégustation primeur
This is packed, with dark plum sauce, anise and tar notes, which all flow through the
dark, lush, well-rounded finish, with a lilting violet note. —J.M.
91 Millésime 2010 livrable - WINE ENTHUSIAST FEV 2013
Dark in color, this is a concentrated wine that’s very firm in struture, with dense tannins. It’s powered by ripe, mature black fruits as well as acids that cut through the dry texture.
This needs several years of aging.
