Avis d'expert

90 / 100

Wine Spectator

(03-2002) Well done. Good, dark color to this '99, with lots of plummy, berry and cassis character. It's medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a medium finish.

89 / 100

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(04-2002) An exotic perfume of tapenade, new saddle leather, damp earth, black currants, cherries, and smoke jumps from the glass of this impressive, powerful 1999. The wine is medium-bodied with moderate tannin.

88 / 100

Jean-Marc Quarin

(06-2009) Tasted blind and decanted. What a surprise ! Dark red color, intense, beautiful. Fine nose, fruity, typical ripe with a touch of cedar. Pretty deep. Notes of coffee. Allowed to breathe, this very beautiful nose is well confirmed. The entry in the mouth is dense, velvety. The wine develops full, aromatic, with a sappy and sweet taste. Well built, tasty, it ends long and unbreakable. It is very good.
