This is such a great wine, and such great value, which punches way above its weight with a grand cru quality. The nose is aromatic with lemon, burnt lemon, and ripe mango. The palate is rounded with great depth and complexity, but for myself the highlight is the finish. The precision is faultless with great length with the burnt lemon lingering, but totally harmonious. This has at least a decade ahead of it at this level. 95+

This is already very approachable, but it does need a couple of hours of decanting to bloom. Crisp lemon underpinned by ripe mango are prominent on the nose and palate. The depth on the palate is excellent and the finish is exceptional. Everything is in perfect balance, and the sharpness of the citrus notes is in total harmony with a decadent butteriness. This is exceptional value for money and I can't wait to see its further evolvement over the coming years

Just a stunner and starting to be in a good place. Lots of straw and depth. This will go for 20 years. Will hold next bottle for another 4 years.

Beautiful wine with tons of time left to consume. Crisp, lemon, perfectly balanced.
