Good value, this wine shows the 2001 with elegant aromas, complex red and black fruits and vanilla. On the palate, the tannins are very present, very fat, but they are still young. Harmony should be reached after two to four years of aging.

Vintage 2000
Its color is bright ruby. Its bouquet is discreet yet the fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) has measured notes of vanilla. The tannins are, at once flexible and present. A bottle that plays on powerful fruits, to drink in two or three years.
Hachette Wine Guide – 2003
Vintage 2000
A slightly open nose, distilling fresh red fruit and jammy, very nice woody notes that are well blended. A magnitude of beautiful sweet tastes moving towards a very straight footprint and landing on the perfect tannins, massive, without angularity – creamy notes, fruits, very peppery.
In Vino Veritas – January / February 2003
Vintage 2000

Pretty aromas with flavors of blackberries and spices. Medium-bodied, with firm tannins and a medium finish. Better than from the barrel. Best after 2005.
Wine Spectator – May 2003
Vintage 1999
Accustomed to the honors of the Guide, this wine has risen close to the heart with this 1999 vintage. The deep purple color shining pretty amber highlights. The intense and expressive bouquet reminiscent of ripe red fruit, blueberry and vanilla. The silky tannins and fleshy feel evolve with finesse and balance, surrounded by elegant woody notes. A beautiful wine with character, drink in two to six years.
