  Fabulously powerful and meaty nose. Only smelt something similar previously from Fonsalette. Rich, savoury, and long on palate. Totally different league to a typical CdR. A few years left, it highly enjoyable right now.

  Still tasting big, with plenty of spicy fruit, though certainly some secondary characters coming through. Fresh fruit palate, bramble/hedgerow fruit. Nice acidity and well integrated tannins. Would suggest drinking now, maybe not too much life ahead of it.

  This is, in essence, a top CdP. Super jammy with still grippy tannins. Years ahead of it. Clean, precise. Top raw ingredients utilised perfectly.

  Simply lovely. Gorgeous jammy nose, a big wine but also full of finesse. Spice to the fore, well integrated tannins and a long silky finish. A top wine made with precision.

  Loving it still. A crowd pleaser. Paired nicely with roast turkey and a multitude of trimmings.
