November 10, 2023 - Ripeish for a 2014, in the Lafon fashion. Hedgerow fruit on the nose, with underlying minerality but also a slightly stewed edge - not unpleasant, but also not exactly typical. Rather leaner on the palate, with dark fruit and some unresolved but extremely sandy tannins. Seemed to close down a little in the glass. Needs time, like many 2014s do IMO.
