"This is a value-minded wine that overdelivers on its price point, with moderate tannin and oak showing and a lengthy expanse of rich dark berry fruit, baking spice and vanilla. The oak profile is 100% French but only 25% of it new. Virginie Boone"

"Toasted oak and swirls of vanilla make for a jammy rich and softly likable wine, value-minded in price and blended with small amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Blueberry and blackberry flavors are supple and fleshy on the palate. Virginie Boone"

Saftig und komplex, dunkle Waldbeernote, feste, aber seidige Tannine, die gut eingebunden sind, zeigt eine gute Länge, extraktsüßer Nachhall, sicheres Entwicklungspotenzial."
