Starts with a spicy nose followed by a sweet one, round, fruity mouthfeel, soft but also intense. Long fruity finish. Superb effort! Bravo 👏

Dec 6th, 2019Upgraded her to 91 compared to my previous notes since the nose opened up and clearly a positive evolution in the last year. A rough diamond with some edges but certainly no sharp ones anymore...

Sep 1st, 2018Somewhat closed on the nose, but wonderfull in the mouth. Spicy, light bitter and sweet, long finish. Some hints of cola at the end? Just entering her drinking window...

May 16th, 20162012 was considered an exceptional year in the region. This wine will definitely improve with age. Recommend that it be cellared and drink the Lirac now instead.
