First victory ... this is one '96 Droin that wasn't prematurely aged. LIme blossom, stone, gardenia. Loads of mineral, wood definately present, bit of age showing, precise acidity cuts long and fresh. The fierceness of the acidity makes this a wine that's hard to drink without the right food. Lose the wood.

The second totally shot-PremOx and VA- bottle of the night. Same year ,1996, and same producer. Should have drunk earlier. On pre-mox wiki.
