A lovely cool year with destemmed berries. Matured in one third new barriques for eight months. Satsuma plum, wild raspberries and Alpine strawberries. A cherry blossom prettiness and pulled paperbark earthiness. Dry powdery tannins surge forward providing a veil across the palate and allowing the nutmeg and cinnamon dust spice to dance. The wine is totally enthralling in its lacey tannin elegance and delicate dotted red fruit. Drinking beautifully now but will have close to 6-8 years further drinking window. One of the prettiest vintages of this wine I’ve seen, serve this with a duck terrine and you’ll be floating amongst the clouds.
