Not as reductive as the '15's tried from barrel, not the worst for it though, showing a little oak shining through at the moment, well integrated though, this wine has huge intensity.

Slightly torn on this one. Interesting and enjoyable. Great concentration of fruit, funky, a bit foxy, cigarette notes. I actually liked it, but it was a bit up there on the "natural" scale. It could have been many different varieties from varying places.
The unofficial theme of the night was the merit of these wines, where they fit in, and in what context(if needed).

La Mailloche 2005: spicy, fennel and juniper. Mineral, chalky and very intensive. Lovely layers of complexity. Harmony, light bitterness, chalky, floral, lightly almond. A spicy little number. 97 superbly expressive. Length lasts for several minutes. Superb.
