CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Burghound - "Much like the Clos de la Maladière, the pungent nose of moderate wood and smoky reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast there is good freshness and verve to the caressing but punchy medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a robust, powerful and lingering finish that flirts with austerity. (89-92pts)"
