Elegant wildness through aromas of raspberry, herbal notes, spring forest floor on the nose. The palate shows the same lightness of touch but with persistency of flavours and textured, sweet red-current fruit. The wine is still full of freshness with good acidity and spicy character with nutmeg and more herbs. Need at least 2 hours decanting to reveal all its charms... Drink now and over the next three years (well kept).

Lovely wine! Not shy on the nose, spices, fresh herbs, liquorice, candied fruit and a lot of funky characters but in a good way. Sour cherries on the palate, plenty of freshness, light bodied but with a long sweet finish. Very elegant and classic. Remind me a classy aged Margaux. Amazing wine consider the poor vintage

Good but not outstanding wine - probably not a great bottle and the finest example of this wine. The colour was already turning on the straw side. Very fresh on the nose with herbs, floral notes and stone fruits. Very nice acidity , lively with minerals and spices but the finish was too short and overall it lacked complexity.
