January 20, 2016 - Lean and bright yet with depth and structure. Wife asked for more after we had downed the bottle, which is a strong endorsement and a suggestion that purchases of additional bottles may not be heavily scrutinized.

Pretty lean for Breuil, huh. I need to get a 14 Choisilles open soon and see if this is a signature of the vintage. -

Surprisingly gold color and dense palate, but decent acidity and overall balance. Like with the Breuill, Sahba and I killed a bottle in no time over Xmas. I went back for more and didn't even bother to prepare a defense.
