Pure berry and cherry fruit on the nose, much more pronounced than the 01, then a plush attack of blueberry, sweet blackcurrant and a powerful wave of cherry, which verges on kirsch flavours. Very modern, very intense, not all that Loire-like. Quite arresting after the 01, the difference is extraordinary, like wines from two entirely different estates. 13.5° alcohol as opposed to 12.5° for the 01, and it tastes like a lot more. Incredibly youthful, this could have been a 2015.

Disappointing bottle. Drunk over several nights. Some volatility on the nose. Remains unyielding on the palate, rather harsh, still dry, tannic and a bit harsh, and lacking the generosity which might have indicated it is not just a matter of waiting longer.

Bue il y a 15 jours, DOnc de mémoire. Belle bouteille à maturité. Pas d'arôme de poivrons rouge ou vert. C'est long et fin en bouche.
Très bien

Très belle bouteille à maturité avec des tanins fondus, on est sur la finesse avec une belle persistance en bouche.
