Tasted alongside 93 from same producer (see note) I would give the nod to this one on points. Looked more mature than the 93 and I would suspect given another 4 or 5 years I think it would be the reverse. There is a golden toasty hazelnut whirl character on the nose and the palate is full and rich but restrained. The wine has lightness which makes it easy to drink. Quite a voluble wine and excellent quality for a village of this age.
