Contestant for WOTN, this has real intensity; a dry, chalky exteriour, a very sound and vivid fruit. On the young side, certainly (from MG), but the harmony here is great, it is a seemless joy to drink, light on it's feet, en danseuse. #Jordnær

Tasted blind, didn't come up as the top of the 5 village wines we tasted together, which was slightly disappointing. The wine was floral and presented quite some red fruits on the nose and the palate, rather elegant. After opening 3 hours, the weight of the wines started to come through, but not as deep in structure as one would expect from liger Blair's wine. Still a good wine though, just not up to the standard for the price I think.

I wonder if this is an off bottle. Nail polish, tea and leave on the nose but missing the vr floralness. The fruit started to dry out at the end of a two hour dinner. Disappointing for a liger belair in a great vintage.

Liger-Belair Dinner (Hong Kong): This has a very pretty and quite classic nose. Very floral, bright red cherry somehow already adding earth character. More elegant than spiced, think more like a Chambolle perfume. Quite ripe. Palate is much less interesting than the very nice nose. Palate is youthful and more straightforward than the great nose suggests, but this does have weighty fruit and I can see this aging well. Interestingly this is my preferred wine of the whole program.

Floral, earthy, stem, expressive aromatics. Generous, trades on elegance over power.
