92-94 Spice, smoky fruit, with great acidity, a wine that offers richness, structure, powerful tannins and already some delicious blackberry fruits.
92-94 A luxurious wine, acidity and sweet plum fruits rolling together into a fine, beautiful structure. It has toughness, to be sure, while it is the glamorous surface that is immediately attractive.
92-94 This is rounded, ripe, a densely tannic mineral wine, very intense. It is tense, structured, firm, promising long aging.
92-94 With huge tannins, very dark fruits, powerful and concentrated. The wine is ripe, juicy and firmly tannic.
92-94 Great dusty tannins, almost too powerful, very solid in character. The wine is chunky, allowing juicy fruits to show. It is a dry wine, certainly not hard.
92-94 Great acidity here, the wine has freshness as well as dried apricot and peach flavors, very honeyed. Excellent acidity to finish.
92-94 Hugely aromatic, a wine that manages to combine freshness, lightness and density. It is deliciously fresh, then offering a fine, ripe dried fruit aftertaste.
92-94 Spice and mint aromas with blackberry fruit, new wood and a polished character. The acidity is delicious, refreshing.
92-94 Sweetly juicy wine, the new wood giving high toast to the black currant flavors. It is on the elegant side, although the new wood needs to be tamed to let the fruit come through.
