Harvest 2013: 95 points (Robert Parker), 94 points (James Suckling). On the nose: notes of fresh red fruits, raspberries, cassis and truffles accompanied by delicate spicy hints. Its oak ageing brings aromas of coffee and chocolate amalgamated with fruity notes. The palate is intense, with sweet and elegant tannins. Long finish.
