Quotations
Guide Dussert-Gerber 2021 5♥ : « Nice tasting with this Pessac-Léognan wine, of a very dark red, powerful, of great complexity, with very silky tannins, a wine where everything is wonderfully melted, whose balance is perfect, extremely typical from Graves Pessac-Léognan , with hints of smoke, very complex aromas, really a very great wine.»
