Still very youthful with deep colour and layers of flavour but I intend to hold my final bottle for another decade as this is still a baby and I'm sure there is still bags to come, interestingly outshone on the night by the 2019 vintage of the same wine served alongside it

Very much what I’d expect from a GC at this price point. Complex nose of cloves, cherries, wood, earth evolves over time. Already well integrated, tannins are fine grained and are felt on the finish. Silky mouthfeel. Paired beautifully with roasted baby lamb joints on a bed of potatoes, and views from Le Châble. This should drink well for another 10 years

Terrific depth of colour, wonderful intensity and layers of fruit. Fresh acidity gives super freshness, depth f fruit is super as is length - best kept for another decade to see complexity but already delicious.

Opened 4 hours before with quick decant. Nice enough but didn't have the intensity or length of a GC. Admittedly the last glass was the best but still well short of what I expected. 5 bottles left, will leave a couple of years.

Purple fruit, very bright, almost candied. Strong intensity of flavor and with good purity. Not huge density but drinks well.
