iDealwine En Primeur Tasting Note:A nose of black fruits, slightly vegetal. The palate is clean and balanced, with hints of cocoa and vanilla on the finish. The estate has carried out a complete micro-vinification. ”

James Suckling: “Mineral and perfumed, showing violets and dark cherries. This has fine, chalky tannins aplenty, medium to full body and a long, scented finish. It may improve with time in barrel but already impressive for the vintage.”
