My next bottle and it surpassed the last. This is really in a lovely place. Yes to the other supporters of this wine.. exotic, chewy and very well structured for a few more years left. Fruit is black and wonderfully not over ripe.. just very very drinkable.. with a simple lamb and some kind of red wine jus. 4 hour decant.

Actually quite elegant for a 14.5%. Full in floral and plum aromas. Depth on the nose, satisfying on the palate. Lovely texture on the palate. Fresh, vibrant..This is most definitely my style of southern Rhone reds.. as per Le Vieux Donjon (CNFP).

Almost opaque but not quite.. classic Pauillac with all the expected notes of cedar, leather, black fruits in perfect balance.. and with incredible power and intensity.. with the addition of a lovely zingy almost electrical mouthfeel .. it all just works!.. this is a fantastic wine.. will await time and comparison with the 2010 before escalating score.. which I’m sure I will.
