Lovely and quite tangy. Gevrey fruit with purple grapey notes and bright blue balance- quite lean and cold-blooded. Vivid and yummy. Still young

Jul 27th, 2018Vintage 1996. Took a bit to open, but with patience this was exceptional. Give it 45 mins + for the beauty to arrive.

Aug 12th, 2016jammy with mineral scents in the nose! Bit rusty but typical of this producer! Medium tannins with great strength of acidity, and power finish... Should be drinkable 3-5 years from now!
