Lovely reductive nose with clean, ripe lemon and ripe yellow stone fruit. On the palate, good focused lemon also adding acidity and freshness along with riper yellow fruits. Undertone of gun flint adding a complex smokiness.
Pleased to try this as I find the vineyard v interesting and given that only 6 hl/ha produced (c. 500 litres).

Touch of dark cherry, ripe blackberry and some iris on nose, along with forest floor, cigar leaf and cedar. Cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry still discernable on palate with decent depth and freshness. Tertiary forest floor and tobacco leaves along with pencil shavings and hints of pepper. Considering this is almost 30 years old and a second wine it's an impressive showing. Holding up well bit I'd drink up over the next few years to enjoy at it's prime.

Cherry and recurrent on nose, with some slight touches of cream. On the palate some red fruit remaining along with a touch of oak and graphite tertiary flavours. Decent acidic balance but fairly simple and thin in flavour. It's holding up well for a 24 year old wine but a lot less going on vs the 1995 Pavillion Rouge tasted alongside.
