  Classic MV FDC. Rich as expected but the 13 base makes it super elegant. Needs to be opened a good hour prior to tasting and as it gets warmer, it shows the true beauty within. Love HG

  Other than the corked 1995 Pontet-Cantet, the wines we brought to the WFFT auction all sang. This had lovely floral notes, light orange and lime notes and a soft, gentle finish.

  Has that baby grande cuvee feel. Still rich, toasty, apricot and pear, but good acidity. Tasty.

  香气很好，有一种印象派风景画，描绘午后的明亮感。白油桃、苹果、沙田柚、日本柚子和梨子等果味，色浅但优雅，完全没有氧化，清新可人。随后有些甘蔗和竹青的味道，慢慢浮现的黄油、奶油等酵母味，有一些涟漪浮动。入口酸度高且有冲击力，比起MV16要强势一些，但是慢慢随着酒液浸润，变得舒适宽阔。入口有着沙田柚、葡萄柚和日本柚子的复调柚子味，酸苹果、不太熟的树莓、白油桃和一点柠檬凝乳等等，质地光滑，表现开朗。随后是竹蔗茅根水、橡木味高级且隐约，还有着淡奶油、澄清黄油、一点坚果和面包味，审美颇为东方。93/100

  A bit more mineral and focussed than what we expected from the usual richer, toastier versions of wines that we are used to by Giraud. Lovely surprise though and this is now at the start of its journey in a way, firm and mineral, precise and with long palate presence. Very solid . 93
