Billon in 11/14 kills it. Considered “off” for many I consider them classic and delicious and most importantly, drinkable. Nose is brooding. Black fruits, granite, flowers and tobacco. Mint and oozing so precise. Terrific aromas. Palate is terrific with lovely high toned acids and wonderful straight as an arrow fruit. Lovely minerality on the finish. Terrific sap and purity. Not as big as 13/10/15 but gorgeous today. Needs an hour decant. No rush. Plush and concentrated.
