"nearly 6 stars. Quite dark red robe; the aroma is well curved – expresses full, smoky black fruit with nice leathery touches – it is sustained and has local garigue-herb touches. Its fullness verges on the saturated. The palate has a rather delicious start, the fruit gourmand, a little muscular, the richness deep-seated. It ends in the direction of ripe raspberry, soaked red cherries, the length good. Its tannins are integrated, with the red fruit streaming through them well. Lots of dimension and variety in this very complete wine. 15°. From 2011. 2030-32 June 2008." John Livingstone-Learmonth
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
