Like the previous reviewer (in 2005!) I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Well-stored for 15 years. Bramble and dark fruits. Nice mouth feel. Solid and holding well. Sadly it’s my last. I remember deciding to hang on to it for awhile thinking it might turn out pretty good with some age. This producer has t attracted many favorable reviews but there it is.

i carried this bottle back from burgundy in the late 90's; perfectly stored since. high toned and bright acid, but full fruit in great balance. well stored bottle have years ahead. 1996 has been a binary vintage for me, either premox or brilliant. Thankfully, it was the latter in this case.

Opened my only bottle with friends; initially a whiff of premox but after an hour this blew off; what emerged was a beautiful flower of a wine. acid and fruit in balance. crushed rocks. outstanding. wish i had some more.
