AW93. Beautiful nose of redcurrant, cherry liqueur. Less perfumed and violet that I know Isabelle wines for. Medium finish, delicate but still full of abundant red fruit, some orange peel. Always a real joy and interesting to taste this vintage and at this stage of evolution.

AW96. Stunning. 2+ hour decant and consumed over the next two hours. I think this was the right decision as it really got into its stride. Serious quality and dark ruby in the glass, it's a beast. It has a rich, opulent mouthfeel with tons of wonderful fruit and complexity. Memorable finish.
AW93. Baby Martha, this was a PNP and brought back memories of tasting the 07 Martha in Zurich last year. This was clearly a fantastic vintage across the Heitz portfolio and in Napa. This estate bottling is more delicate, floral and with less weight than its older sister, but fantastic to sip and enjoy and will look to pick up more as exceptional QPR.
