Still rather tightly knit, this biodynamically farmed vineyard from Alain Moueix exhibits sweet red and black currant fruit, some loamy soil undertones, licorice and a distinctive minerality, elegance and purity. It is tightly knit at present and seems to have closed down post-bottling. Nevertheless, there’s a lot to like in this wine and it certainly has the potential to merit an outstanding score after 2-4 years of bottle aging. It should drink well for 15-20 years.

Offers a modest core of plum, fig and blackberry fruit, with a lacing of singed mesquite and an open-knit, toasted finish that lets a pleasant chocolate note linger. Features dark fruit and good mouthfeel, but lacks the tannic drive of the vintage. Drink now through 2020.
