Wednesday, February 2, 2022 - 2017 reds with Jasper Morris MW (67 Pall Mall TV): Also entirely destemmed.
A deeper and more wild nose than the Pommard. Slightly high-toned, plenty of almost-candied red fruit. Real weight of fruit on the palate, which completely fills the mouth, with a hint of rose and exotic bazaar, followed by peppery spice on the finish moving into blackberry crumble - excellent length. All that fruit is nevertheless perfectly balanced by pitch-perfect acidity and finely woven tannins. Probably even more impressive than when I tasted it last year.
