Wide with very faint brioche – lovely understated nose. Concentrated with good acidity, this is a very nice example indeed. The finish lingers very well. Super.

A penetrating and wide nose. There’s good depth and only faint brioche. The nose bit-by-bit improves and improves, eventually giving a little caramel. The palate is polished smooth and gives a very impressive, slightly creamy length. There is the merest trace of oxidation on the palate, but even for oxidation-averse me, it is additive to the complexity. Expands very nicely on the palate in an understated but highly impressive way. Very, very long with a little lime in the finish. Simply fantastic villages.

Less than 2 weeks in bottle. A high-toned nose of quite understated depth. After the subdued nose the palate impresses with its volume and its forward presentation. There is good width and a nice (small) extra dimension on the mid-palate before the good acidity takes you into the reasonable finish. Quite nice and should only get better as it recovers from bottling.

Made from purchased must. Where the reds are light in colour, this is already quite deep golden. The nose is fat, slightly creamy and sweet – perhaps with a trace of nutty oxidative aspects – not a fault, that’s just the style. The palate is lush, sweet and creamy, yet held together very well by a good core of acidity. It’s not about minerality, rather opulence, and is a very ‘comforting’ presentation. Whilst I prefer a wine with minerality, I can very much appreciate a glass like this.
