Tasting Notes

A slightly deeper gold than the other 1st Growths and more viscous in the glass – has the highest concentration in sugar of all the wines in this vintage (188g/l !). Very spicy and smoky on the nose with some attractive cracked black pepper character. Notes of barley sugar and lime. Fat, rich, plump, soft & velvety textured. A lip-smacking seam of acidity and minerality lends fantastic balance. Wonderfully complex and complete. Fantastic length.

Farr Vintners, Farr Tasting, September 2020

Mid gold in colour with a very youthful, pure nose of dried apricot and saffron. Great power and density on the palate, with real weight and generosity of fruit. The cut of mouth-watering acidity adds a savoury, earthy quality that brings a lip-smacking, spicy finish. Very powerful and rich, with glossy honey and stone fruits lingering for a minute or more. Superb and very ageworthy. 2022 - 2045
