93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team

"Like the Roc de Binet this is a classic, modern-style St.-Emilion. From vineyards located approx. 9 km north of Saint-Emilion there is plenty of ripe-blackberry and subtle, herbal notes, married together with silky tannins and fresh acidity.  With 5 years bottle age this is good to go."
