Still dark in the glass with only little hints of maturity. Beautiful aromas of dark fruits, meat, fur, game, smoke, caramel and violets - classic syrah. On the palate great balance and acidity. The tannins are fully resolved - the wine is elegant, almost burgundian in profile. Ogier is a knock out producer great QVP - very nice - I think this is now at its peak.

Pale gold in the glass. A rich nose of raisins, fruit peel and honey combined with lighter notes of lemon and mint- quite complex. A very rich. oily mouthfeel but also fresh with a hint of spice. Dried fruits and honey dominate the palate. First it feels rich and sweet , next it feels dry and minerally. Very interesting. Obviously deeper and richer than the more mineral driven 2014.

Pale gold in the glass. Initially a little restrained on the nose but hinting of a deeper complexity - then white flowers, honey, stones, aniseed, lime and minerals. Great acidity on the palate with a beautiful mouthfeel and tension. The wine has a great structure, a few tannins and is also rich, oily and very long on the aftertaste. Very complex.
