Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 14 Feb 24
Creamy texture from the first moment, this is attractive, with the spicy cinammon and turmeric of a hot year, and plenty of blackberry fruit with eucaplyptus freshness. Softening on the finish, heading towards truffle, fading out on the finish. Enjoyable, but I would drink within the next 10 years. 50% new oak for ageing, Didier Forêt technical director and Jacques Boissenot consultant. Harvest September 11 to September 30.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2036
