  8/7/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  Stunning. Kind of like tasting young BDX - the pedigree is staring you in the face (in this case, the nose, it's amazing), the purity is undeniable, and the care and attention that went into making it are right there on your nose and palate. That said, similar to fine young BDX, this will need time (the 18 months in Fr. barrique will likely need 2-3 years to more fully integrate - though this will be able to last for decades). Typically a blend of Petit Rouge 40%, Cornalin 35%, Fumin 20%, and Mayolet 5%, this presents as a silky full body, with full but gentle acidity; tannins are fine, just the right amount of grip, and the finish is nearly a minute. This will continue to develop (further) complexity, and depth, but it's already elegant, sapid, and, on some level, ready. 50€ at the cantina, and worth every centesime/penny. highly recommended
