A very spicy bouquet with a ripe currant perfume and a matchbox element as well. The palette is a mineral acid dance with some very good fruit and a bold finish.

Probably my favourite wine of the tasting, which would make this the best value as well. Lovely stewed red fruits on the nose with beautiful complexity that is both spicy and floral. There is so much action going on. The palette oozes fine tannins with an initial bite of red cherry and a lovely long minerality. This is action packed and really great value. Probably the most approachable of the Liger-Belairs, but will develop well for many years.

Rose petal and other florals on the nose with blue fruits and a powerful earthiness. The palette has a beautiful complexity with a very nice tannin and acid balance.

Still a bit green, but very detailed floral and vanillin with a big, intense mouthfeel. A very powerful wine.

There is a spicy darkness with plums and some integrated florals with a massively dense and seductive palette and a persistent finish.
