"This also displays moderate wood influence on the more elegant nose of various red berries and noticeably more floral influence. The caressing and appealingly textured, if not especially concentrated, flavors offer good verve and solid depth before concluding in a nicely balanced and impressively long finish. Like the Carougeot, this is built to reward a decade, or even more, of keeping yet it's not so compact that it couldn't be enjoyed after 5-ish or so years if desired." -- Burghound 92 Points
