November 28, 2017 - Guillemot Les Serpentières lineup: This really needed a lot of time to open up. First impressions were of a fairly one note wine with simple red cherry on a light frame, but a few hours of air change it considerably, bringing out an array of fresh floral notes, riper berried fruit, and some herbal (stemmy?) elements on the nose. It starts to show a lot more complexity on the palate too, with more layers to the bright red fruit and a savoury, earthy undertone on the back end. It's leaner on the palate than the '10 and the '15, though by no means austere. Excellent wine, though this needs time.
