Monday, August 4, 2014 - Tannic, rustic, medium bodied and better on the nose than the palate, there is not much fruit left in this wine. I'd opt for drinking this sooner than later.

After a proper decant at L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and a divine dinner experience at the newly 2 Michelin star rated restaurant I noted how good my final bottle of this was…. For good measure I had the Sommolier as well as the manger have a taste and both agreed this bottle had much life and was not only beautifully aromatic but just a pretty wine with so much fruit showing amazingly well. I hope this maybe gives you better piece of mind if you see another bottle you got a 50-50 shot maybe it’s an amazing one like I had for my final bottle and luckily mine was enjoyed over such a good occasion! Here I am in 2022 and I think it’s held up Incredibly drinking in its prime.
