StefanAkiko Likes this wine: 95 points
April 26, 2015 - This is now all the things that all great wines want to be, minus the lack of tannic backbone...
Superbly exotic aromas ranging from red fruits to sweaty saddles, a whiff of Brett and wound maintenance.
Medium bodied with only small tannins, M++ acids and extra intensity on the palate. Long, lingering, restrained, perfectly integrated... Now having left adolescence behind.
We only have one btl to go of this vintage and are aiming for 2020, give or take a few years.
Wife: 95p (also tired of supple fruit and watery things.)

Av Matt i London kan du köpa from 1998 till mckt attraktiva priser. Och av denna gör det absolut inget att ha fler :-) -

That's one of the miracles with this wine :-)
Impossible to become bored!
