Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 16 Oct 26
Love the smoky campfire curl on the aromatics of this 2000, plenty of structure and character. Cabernet Sauvignon dominant even though still only 70% of the blend, and here you see an austerity, a finesse, a length. Captures the DNA of the estate, leafy in the savoury, succulent way, waves of violet and iris flowers, with cassis, bilberry, graphite and crayon. 50% Grand Vin in this year.
