December 20, 2018 - deliscious
better than last in 2017
I have just opened and discarded 3 other Fevre's from 2008 that I think have premox
This bottle has composite cork - is that the key?
This one starts with a bright glow - still pale in the glass
Nose is classic - sea spray and citris peal
palate is bright fruit with grip and matches nose
lovely length

Seems to have made a significant impact/improvement for Fevre. Note that their Grand Crus didn't get these corks until the 2010 vintage (their 1er crus starting with the 07 vintage)...so if you have earlier vintages of Fevre Grand Cru, drinking up is a good idea.
