This came across well, but a little reticent. Graceful, yes. Poised, yes. But not really completely convincingly. A bit simple. Dark colour. Lovely pure scents. A bit clean. A bit careful. Though nice.
Not a match for the Grand Cru bottling.

Surprisingly fresh still, although oak and structure somewhat dominant over the maturing fruit.
