"A barely 20yo vineyard (planted to clone 1654) performing in a great vintage starts the discussion. Selected rows hand-picked, 6% saignee (juice run off), 8 days on skins, matured for 16 months in French oak (20% new). A brilliantly savoury, mouthwatering wine of dazzling length and complexity. 15% alcohol is just a number here." 97pts - James Halliday - Wine Companion
