Harvest took place in the early days of September after a dry and very hot summer after a superb growing season - long and cold winter followed by a rainy and humid spring. Exceptional weather conditions for an exceptional vintage. Full maturation of the grapes and good concentration. Aging in oak cask during 15 months

Bright ruby colour. Intense aromas of red berries (raspberry) and ripe plum on spicy nuances. Dense and compact. Well-balanced on a delicate oak structure and an important layer of tannins. Persistant aftertaste.

Reviews:

"If it's elegance and finesse you want, this red has it. A linear profile contains cherry, strawberry and currant flavors adorning the firm structure. It's balanced, but will take time to come together. Best from 2012 through 2025. 75 cases imported. –BS" -Rated 91, Wine Spectator
