The mighty VVF was on my wishlist for a long long time and does not disappoint! Slightly oxidative but I think only in style and still super fresh on the palate. The energy in the wine is really impressive, and unfold all sorts of ripe fruit on the palate. Really enjoyed it!

Opened 3 hours in advance but probably not enough? Very pretty Leroy nose with tons of flower and candied fruit, but on the palate really gained weight after substantial time in the glass. Meaty, complex and very concentrated, it really goes above a 1er

The bottle showed it's best when first opened, intoxicating nose with rose petal and bright red fruit. It's almost impossible to hold back and not taking another glass. In the first hour for me it also has a hint of 冰糖葫芦 which I never felt in other wines. After couple of glasses the wine seems to shut down, showing some reduction and greenness of the vintage. Seems to improve towards the end of the night, but it's so delicious we finished it early!
