  A baby, this is muted and austere on opening. Disjointed, a bit shrill and weedy. Then, three hours later. .. this little inflatable porn star of a wine explodes with high toned yet glyceryl red fruit, Xmas spice and complicating Indian and alpine notes. Seriously fleshy yet alternately vibrating with cool mentholated sucro-tannic tension. Brilliant young wine.

  I keep hearing good things about this domaine, so continue to track down different bottles to test out. I know ?12 is rather on the, erm, young side, but I didn?t have much choice. Anyway, the headline is that the wine didn?t disappoint. Had clear earthy flavour profiles on opening, but these faded over time. The fruit became more and more prominent with more air. Fantastic clarity and purity of fruit. There was delicateness/lightness to the wine, in terms of it already being well integrated, and was more approachable than I had expected. Tannins already fine/well integrated. An impressive wine.
