Sapidità intensa. Ideale con crudité di pesce. Penso in particolare a scampi. Ottimo anche con la julienne di seppie con verdure, lenticchie e bottarga che ho mangiato stasera. — 8 years ago

This vintage has reached its optimum drinking time in my opinion - I can't imagine it getting any better. Super creamy, dusty raspberry with a little vanilla. So delicious. Very well done @Philippe Guigal — 9 years ago
