“.... an extra degree in depth and complexity, especially nuance and elegance, showcasing the captivating finesse and harmony of the vintage ... quite transparent and show the style of the zone, the iron soils, the dusty roads and the warmth of the soils; it's round and lush, spherical but with a spike of freshness. The élevage has been polished so as to render it almost invisible ....” LUIS GUTIERREZ - THE WINE ADVOCATE, 96+
