This is very slow to open, eventually very precise and pretty berry notes lift from the glass. Again there is quite some minerality here, allied to elegance and quite some intensity though. After swallowing there’s a good evolution of the flavour – and only now a hint of tannin!

Wide and complex with hints of herbs and minerals. A little like the 08 Clos St.Denis, here is a mouthful of structure that to an extent obscures the fruit, but finally the fruit comes to the fore as you head into a very good finish.
