9.1

YBM are more known for great whites. But this is everything you want from a Cote de Beaune red. Red fruit dominates, just a hint of wild bramble.

2014 is current vintage widely available, but looks about £18 now. Probably due to exchange rate. Still very good value. Use winesearcher.com, BI wine is reliable (formerly Bordeaux index), but shop around & look at deals on older vintages/bin ends if there are any.

Ready. Black currant fruit with fully integrated tannins. Ripe, some acidity but quite rounded and fleshy. Still potential to age. — 8 years ago
