Reviews
" La robe brillante et limpide couleur rouge foncé aux reflets violets s'ouvre sur un nez expressif et harmonieux qui associe les odeurs des fruits noirs mûrs (cassis) à celles des épices (girofle), et s'enrichit de nuances de réglisse. La bouche à l'attaque souple offre une matière charnue, beaucoup de richesse, de la générosité, de l'ampleur, ainsi que des arômes de tabac, poivre et café, qui enrobent des tanins structurés puis persistent dans une finale élégante et longue. Superbe Saumur Puy Notre Dame. " [+]
