Fabulous long and racy, vital mouth-watering ripe sweet red fruits, really penetrating and bracing, the precision of a fine-cut diamond. Excellent quality.

94/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Full red-ruby. Knockout nose melds raspberry, flint, mocha and coffee; distinctly rocky. Big, rich and sweet, with very ripe red berry liqueur flavors framed by an edge of tannins and acids. Like the Echezeaux, this also shows some lower-toned earth and underbrush elements, but this one also has the ineffable mineral lift I crave. Almost too seductive now: will it shut down in the bottle?
