Brick red, fading to orange, with a clear rim. Aromas of forest flowers, garrigue, raspberry, and a hint of lingering oak. Fruit is still very much alive, tannins are wispy, and acidity is present but unobtrusive. Peak Drinking.

This was vinified by Hubert before the break-up. Just perfectly mature with a dark color and lovely black cherry fruit. The texture is ethereal and the wine is perfectly balanced and weightless. The finish has a very fine mineral complexity with excellent length and great purity. Lighter-bodied and extremely elegant at this stage and no sign of the green meanies from the vintage. Superb winemaking here.

3rd bottle on about a year. Needs 45 min in glass to open up. In prime. Overall just a superb easy drinking wine. Outstanding value considering it’s not a top vintage. This will easily hold for another decade but unlikely to improve.

Orange hue to the robe suggesting age, but this wine just felt off. Hints of iron in the fruit. Nose was not appealing, almost weirdly stinky.
