Bright, energetic and concentrated. What a great village VR. Drinking very well but probably will add a bit more understory notes with some time, if i can resist it....

Cork crumbled but somm got it all out! Very brown, quite pungent of undergrowth and mushrooms but wine still good, although obviously old and lost most of its fruit. My first birthyear wine, different from younger wines, but refreshing and interesting, full of tertiary aromas and taste but somehow moreish.

Beautiful nose. Fully mature, elegant and feminine, floral. With hints of treacle and caramel
