Rated vintages

  • 200786 pts

    Soft red fruits, with tannins that give a firm core. The wine is pierced through with acidity, touched with strawberry jam. In keeping with the vintage, the wine is light, acidity surging on the finish.

  • 200688 pts

    With the few years of bottle age, the wine is showing ripe fruits, the tannins well integrated. The combination of juicy acidity and ripe fruit, with the dry core, are bringing the development of the wine on well.

  • 200589 pts

    Dark colored wine, with ripe black plum flavors that lie over solidly textured tannins. Structured to bring out the fruit, the wine also has a core of wood, spice, dark cocoa and black currant acidity to finish. An attractive wine that is worth aging for another two years.
