Allowed 5 hours of bottle breathing in hoping for a good performance. At first, the nose appears tight, but patience rewards as the bouquet gracefully unveils its layers of aromas one to two hours after serving. The palate experiences a symphony of intense red fruits. However, it seems this wine has entered a muted stage, suggesting it may benefit from further aging in a cellar for the next few years. A true testament to the potential and allure of Lachaux reds, this wine promises an extraordinary journey for those willing to wait and savor its evolving beauty.

Superbly lifted and pronounced aromas of violet, raspberry, orange peel, warm baking spices, ripe stem, toast, and forest floor. Medium+ acidity, medium slightly grippy tannins, and medium finish. The palate, appropriate for the level, did not match the exceptional nose, but overall it still greatly exceeded expectations. I could still taste the wine when licking my palate on the way home. No wonder this stuff costs so much now…

BYO Centropa (Centropa, Deichmann, Oslo): Servert blindt. Ung, klar rød farge. Sødmefulle røde bær på duft, søte jordbær som i Burlottos Monvigliero! Intens duft med rik duftprofil. Middels fyldig i anslaget, stor konsentrasjon og svært rødbærspreget. Ung men temmelig drikkevennlig, det er ganske mye av alt her, men det er godt; stor og rik frukt, stor dybde, god intensitet, lang smakskurve med middels tannin og ren, behagelig syrestruktur. Kjøpt for 899 kroner på polet, antageligvis før den voldsomme hypen - syke priser internasjonalt (10 000 kr +)! En meget god kommunevin, men prisen er hinsides.
