After the previous wines, surprisingly this is not about aromatic impact, rather a subtly growing width of aromas. The tannins are less silky than those of the Mazis, but all is forgotten as you move through the mid-palate complexity and dimensions. This really is quite something.

Virtually the garden of the domaine, but the paperwork is such a chore that the family do not waste their time pursuing a monopole label – though they are the only supplier. Deep, dark fruit but (hooray!) a hint of red too. Much, much finer tannin – if the last wine was ‘tailored’, this wears an executive suit. Very well balanced with super, slowly fading flavours.
