Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 14 Sep 22
Saline smack and a grippy slate texture from the first moments, this majors on extreme limestone signature, and took its time to soften. Today you'll find a juicy, powerful, beautifully balanced wine with silky tannins, black cherry and blackberry fruit, waves of orange peel, coffee and soft leather, hitting it out of the park. Great vintage character, will age for decades from now, love it. 100% new oak.

Good ruby-red. Sexy, spicy, slightly high-toned aromas of currant and dark chocolate. Sweet, lush and suave, offering excellent mouth coverage and conveying a strong impression of extract. Finishes impressively long, with firm tannins buried in fruit.
