Monday, May 8, 2023 - I found my two previous bottles of this (the last 4 years ago) somewhat severe and inexpressive, so I held back this last bottle until now in the hope that it would open up and acquire the charm of so many of its forebears. Well, it has opened slightly but still remains very serious. The nose is still quite restrained but shows some fine berry fruit (quite a bit of griotte cherry) and flinty minerals which follow through onto the medium bodied and linear shaped palate. The texture is quite delicate and the acidity still lively but there is not a lot of firmness in the quite long finish. Good though in a still rather severe vein.
