Wonderful showing tonight. Fully mature, it's a real neuf with plenty of garrigue, Grenache, STGT style - very well balanced, while more full bodied than I would have expected. Another triumph for the overlooked 1999-vintage. #Good-Bye to All That #Hegelsvej

Terrific showing. Vraiment Neuf in the cool, upright style with dusty fruit, tertiary notes, garrigue. Well structured, well balanced, a joy to drink. And it’s not like I’m usually a fan of Sabon’s wines.

Great Châteauneuf in the glass. Mature with notes of garrigue, but the fruit is running through with freshness and purity. This is a pleasure to drink with roasted lamb from the BBQ.

Opened 2 hours before dinner. We had this with beef. Surprisingly youthful colour. Not a flamboyant nose but lovely integration on the palate and decent length. It has the more feminine characteristics typical of the 99s.

Opened for Easter brunch. Dead meat. Nothing but acid. Dumped down the drain. Way way too late!
