A challenging vintage, now showing waves of tobacco and soft leather, blackberry and redcurrant, with an understated charm that begs to be shared. Clearly more evolved than the 2005 or even the 2000, this gathers rosebuds and incense as it progresses through the palate, very much ready to drink, on the edge of tertiary but staying on the precipice. Love the charm of this wine, atypical of the lineup. 40.5hl/h yieid, 75% new oak. Dominique Befve director, Alain Raynaud and Michel Rolland consultant winemakers.
