Enjoyable. Opened a 2013 two weeks ago and it was disappointing. This 2015 tonight was very soft, with some well integrated tannin present and had nice black cherry and forest flavours. But I think I need to drink the rest soon.

Jan 11th, 2024Disappointing this time around. Might have held these too long. Acidity there, but fruit essentially gone, and not much interesting secondary flavours. Also very little tannin left. Expected more.

Pop and pour, notes from 2 hrs open. Clearly shows the vintage. On the nose: minerals, Gevrey earth, soft stems, lovely perfume, On the palate: slightly less giving than the 16..just a touch more serious at this stage: good acidity, nice density, softly fruited and loads of limestone and earth...so savory. Tannin attenuated on the finish. Fantastically elegant, if slghty aloof at this stage. Still, the bottle is disappearing quickly.

Mar 14th, 2021Haven't had this since May 2019ish, and wow has it blossomed. Lovely perfumed nose with wild strawberry, currants, vanilla oak spice, a soft musk mixed with Gevrey earth...so expressive. On the palate, very elegant: soft earth, a suggestion of stems/seeds, strawberry, blackberry and very elegant tannin on the finish, which just caresses the palate.
