Ignore the doubters (and lack of reviews). Found a funny lost quartet in corner of cellar, undisturbed for many years. PNP into Zalto glass. Bloomin’ lovely. Better with smoked paprika Serrano ham sour dough pizza, but our choice was Shit Head with returning uni kids. Perspective - previous bottle was Duroche Le Clos 2015 - this FwamBwoise VV 2008 in no particular rush to show herself. Opened up straightaway.Not overly sophisticated but a total pleasure. Only detriment (said with no decanting) is a slight sloe hue on final draw.

This reflects the vintage. Lively bouquet; lightweight, pinched, rather mean. Some would argue classical but lacking in charm. Might age further, though I suspect there is little point. Not a patch on 2005.

Very light and highly acidic. Simple but pleasurable. Decant or open an hour or two before drinking as it improved over the course of the evening.
