Always love this lesser known Tavernelle producer. Dark purple that will benefit from additional ageing. I can see this going through 2030 easily. Dark cherries, plums, herbs, and blackcurrant. Smoky and rich raspberry nose. It maintains stark tanginess, but has enough deep fruit to offset. 8 years in this is as good as the 2004 vintage and might turn out even better. 92+

This was best at end of night 1 rather than beginning of night 2. Rustic, fruit muted, took a while to open up.

Very nice stage. Two hour decant. Ideally another year or two but very pleasing now.
