Oct 27th, 2024Well done and with good fruit and tannins, in a modern style. Not our thing, but not over done or over extracted, just lacks freshness / acidity to our taste, we find it a bit monotone.

Jun 5th, 2022A modern wine with everything done correctly. But its very extracted, very oaky and lacks a bit of finesse and classicism. Its a good wine for sure, but not classical claret.

Dec 11th, 2020Very dark robe, nose of black fruits, spices and flowers, very fresh and long in the mouth with civilized tannins. Great value for the price. Drink or hold.
