The floral is more oriented towards the violet. The palate is delicious and fresh, with red fruits. Scents of peppers and iris come together for the finale. Yum ! Which continues on eucalyptus. Spring in the bottle. "
Rated 86/100 by Andreas Larsson, best sommelier in the world 2007, creator of Tasted 100% Blind: “Deep purple color. Young and fresh nose, offering crushed berries with hints of sweet spices. Supple and silky on the palate, with a light extraction, fresh and cheerful fruit with a rounded finish. "
Eric Fabre, wine merchant sommelier at Atrium Vigouroux (Cahors - 46): “Raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, all both fresh and cooked, with an iodized, spicy, violet side and a touch of pepper. Character but counterbalanced by a terribly flirtatious side. In mouth, it’s consistent. A wine that remains powerful all the same, but the vinification gives it an undeniable charm. Silky and structured, a finish on fresh fruit that coats the mucous membranes, and which irresistibly calls for a second glass. "
