Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 17 Nov 21
A great moment to be drinking this wine, making the most of the truffle and tobacco fragrance, finely spun tannins, and the great whoosh of freshness. This is hugely appetising, mouth-watering, wild strawberries and blackberry fruits. An easy wine to underestimate, with it smoky sweetness and subtle pleasures, but it is full of life and smiles at you from the glass - although I don't suggest leaving it too long from this moment. 30% new oak, harvest Sepember 16 to October 8.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2032

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 May 00
Red-ruby. High-toned aromas of plum and animal fur. Sappy and vinous, though not especially deep. Attractively silky texture, thanks to rather soft tannins. Notes of chocolate and leather in the middle palate and on the finish.
