Comments :
5 stars and Tenor of the year in the “Guide Hubert” 2006
“A superb nose on the candied fruits, honey, of rare spices, an accomplished botrytis. The mouth is very rich but knew to keep tonicity, for a bright, tonic aromatic pallet. Very long, intact promptness keeps with this wine an eternal youth. There are nice monsters, like known as the song.”
