Higher toned. More an undertow of red fruit aromas than precise berries, but slowly it takes on more focus – very interesting. Sweetness, concentration, soft but not too plush. The tannin is well covered and then the flavours bursts through. this is lovely.

Magnum. Deep, dark aromas with a suggestion of mushroom – eventually precise, individual berries! Very, very young, but the mid-palate punch is well matched to the structure. Very satisfying from the mid-palate into the finish. Really a long-term wine…

Another sorbet-fruit nose, darker-skinned fruit than the Chanlins. This is from near to Rugiens, but

without the red iron-oxide soil. This is made up from two cuvées, one from 50 year old vines, the other

from 70 year old vines. There’s a step-up in the silkyness of the ample tannins – they cling to your mouth

– another slow diminuendo. Super.
