A nose of roses, tobacco leafs,star anise, liquorice, some red fruit too and we find these expressive aromas and flavors on the well balanced palate as well, the tannins have a nice texture, some grip but with some silk also, and a very “Nebbiolo like” finish with a slight touch of dryness. Not the most complex and a wine to enjoy with a meal. 91 pts
Nez de roses, tabac, réglisse noire, anis étoilée, du fruit rouge qui se retrouve en bouche aussi, belle acidité avec des tannins assez polis mais une finale très Nebbiolo avec une pointe d’assèchement un peu “noble”. Certes pas le plus complexe et définitivement meilleur à table. 91 pts.

Very dark, intense style. Colour starting to turn rusty. Lots of leather and dry leaves on the nose, aswell as rosehip, dried cherries, rose petals, orange zest. One step firmly in tertieray aromas, but a long way left to go.

Dried fruit (prunes?), sweet raisins, great finish.

2011. Took plenty of time to open up but well worth it. Tannins danced - after an hour they felt soft but then after two hours they reemerged. Bright, fresh fruit. Medium bodied. Very well balanced.
