Big WOW! I tasted this wine in September 2018 at the event held by the French embassy at Central World in Bangkok, Thailand; the wine did not impress my tounge at all. However, I bought 2 bottles because a friend of mine imported it. Today (Jan 18, 2019), the wine tasted very delucious after 30 minutes of breathing. Very flavorfull of cherry, blackberry, plum, and tobacco together with soft tannins and silky & reasonable length on the finish. The color is intense but bright ruby red color with medium-to-full-weight which is goes well with medium & sexy acidity. Very good value, excellent balanced, and savory wine to pair well with medium spicy Thai dishes. — 7 years ago

Un assemblage splendide. Les fruits très mûrs, voire même les arômes de pruneau, sont omniprésents. En bouche, ces arômes laissent place à des notes chocolatées. La longueur en bouche de ce vin est superbe. — 11 years ago

Deep dark garnet color. Nice dark cherry round fruit and depth here. Enough complexity with wood and earth. What a nice finish with firm long tannins that melt into a clean finish. Best merlot dominant wine I’ve had in a while. Had it with a NY strip at Capital Grille. — 7 years ago
Excellent white. Bright and peach-y, without the dullness, cloying texture and alc that can mar Rhône-style blends. Great value at €13 — 8 years ago
