The best wines this estate has produced in the modern era. (William Kelley)
Intense nose (red fruits), clean, well-balanced, and refined enjoyment; pairs well with cheese.
A full-bodied wine with aromas of baked cherries, warm blueberries, and preserved plums, featuring touches of scorched earth and truffles.
The nose is full of aromatic finesse, with notes of black cherry and sweet spices. The palate is delicious and fine, with surprising length and an explosive finish.
This vintage is outstanding for its display of well ripened fruit, fine, plump tannins, and a good freshness to ensure classic balance.
Balanced, subtle nose with aromas of blackberry and bramble. Smooth, rich and concentrated on the palate. A fairly massive wine, with powerful but soft tannins.
Dense colour, bouquet of warming black fruit in brandy notes, with nuances of liquorice....
Robe of intense red colour, dark red shimmering with time. Forest fruit aromas on the nose, especially blueberry and sour cherry. Firm structure with fine tannins.
