  Absolutely, spot on, classic Bordeaux notes throughout the nose and palate…. With a twist. A bite. Of spice, steep slope Syrah minerality, and crispness. What an intellectually-stimulating bottle, offering the initial inclinations of grandma’s hug (perhaps a side-hug) that left bank Bordeaux prototypically shows off with 15-20 years of age, combined with bold — almost brash — Côte Rôtie characteristics. Playful cacao, blue & black fruit, and lingering must (Maddy’s note). Tannins yet to soften, this wine has a decade or more to go before peaking

  First Trevallon and really not disappointed. Wow. Already quite evolved. Superb nose, complex and spicy. Attack on the palate bit aggressive, bit rough. But fades away on a super long savory finish.

  Nez: très ouvert, intense. Musc, truffe, garrigue, épices orientales, racé. Bouche: équilibre parfait, le côté sudiste étant parfaitement balancé par une belle tension (acidité mûre) et de la minéralité; c'est à la fois concentré et aérien. Finale saline, très longue. Une magnifique bouteille, déjà superbe aujourd'hui.
