Sampled during a Chapoutier food-wine pairing event at the Sofictal JBR in Dubai. This 2001 matured in a Jeroboam. Dark red, opaque. On the nose raspberry, a hint spice. Full flavored broad and deep attack, finish w/t spices and red dark fruit. Beautiful matured, anothr 5-7 years easily. Cannot get enough of this with the squab.
Sampled during a Chapoutier food-wine pairing event at the Sofictal JBR in Dubai. Deep golden very floral, hints of pineapple, herbaceous, big dinner wine, very well balanced, 6-8 sec lingering yet refreshing finish. Did well with lobster and did exceptionally well with the almond-flavoured mousse. Gonna buy a case.
