Mixed, but generally good quality. Only two wines really blew me away: The Domaine de Chevalier Blanc and the Figeac.
Overall, pretty silky, good perfume, quite restrained.
Quite variable, some excellent, some not.
The most consistent overall, generally good performances all round. Warm, smooth.
Some of the highest acid wines - my kind of thing, and a lot of power here.
Very disappointing overall - Domaine de L'Eglise the only one worth trying.
My first ever barrel sample tasting and a hell of a lot of fun. Will be very interesting to try some of these wines again in the years to come.

3.75. Very fresh, slightly nutty, impressively long finish.

5.0. Incredible acidity and amazing concentration and brightness. Very tightly wound but when this relaxes a little it should be astonishing. Very persistent finish
