Escape from Lockdown (67 Pall Mall): This didn't shine as much as when I first tried it, seeming a bit young and oaky by comparison with the 2002 1er cru that preceded it. There's still plenty to enjoy though, with tons of silky fruit but no sense of ponderousness.

Benjamin Leroux in conversation with Jasper Morris MW (Zoom!): BL says he likes the acidity and elegance of 2016, which reminds him of 2010 (his favourite recent vintage - along with 2019...).
Attractive translucent red - 100% destemmed and a small cuvee so pale colour. Really excellent - clean, fragrant oak, simultaneously creamy and very crisp. Lovely spicy finish (nutmeg?). Wonderful poise between richness and precision. Tremendous.
