Beautiful, violets, pepper and dark fruit. Fine grained tannins, nice balance, not the deepest but very good, much better with a few years then first bottles opened. 90-91

A bien vieilli, poivre, violettes, fruits noirs. Des tannins présents mais fondus et avec du grain assez fin. Pas le plus complexe, mais très bien dans cette gamme. 90-91

Aroma of dark berry and fruits, lavender, and crushed rocks, with a hint of earthiness. This 2011 vintage does not disappoint. Tannins are soft, fruit evident.

Outstanding. Needed to add how rich in flavor this was. Delicious.

Delicate on the nose, red/purple fruit. Medium body/tannins/acidity. This wine is young and can age.
