I've tasted many vintages of this designation, particularly the 04 vintage.
The nose has a nice perfume of cherries and blueberries and dried herbs. Palette is well behaved. Tannins are pronounced, but well integrated. Alcohol at 14.2 is kept in check with the tannins and acid profile. Lovely notes of spice box, oak and black fruits. Flavors persist for ages. Great bottle! — 10 years ago

2014. As always, consistently fruit forward full of dark fruit the makes you want to have another glass. It has the smooth mouth that goes so well with meat. — 8 years ago
