Critics' Tasting Notes:
"Very deep crimson. Minerals and interest on the nose. Round and supple and really very gorgeous indeed. I like the lead-pencil character and the coolness. Very refreshing, a complete, fairly forward wine. Skilfully made and beautifully balanced. A very successful Desmirail!"
17/20 points, Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, April 2010
"A red with red berries and currants and some chocolate and hazelnuts. It’s medium-to full-bodied with ripe, savory tannins. Serious this year."
92-93/100 points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
Also awarded "Gold" at the Concours des Féminalise, 2012
