Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

A brilliant effort from proprietor Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc possesses an inky purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of melted chocolate, blackberries, black cherries, licorice, new saddle leather, lead pencil shavings, and a touch of new oak. While dense, powerful, full-bodied, and built for the long haul, the tannins are sweet, and the acids give the wine precision. This long, deep, impressive 2008 should be approachable in 2-3 years, and last for two decades.

Winespectator (90)

This has a concentrated nose of ultraripe blackberry and licorice. Full-bodied, with ripe yet racy tannins and a medium finish. Well-structured.
