Notes from Decanter:

"A vintage from when this estate was in the ascendant, in the process of conversion to biodynamics under the direction of Jean-Michel Comme, who has since left the estate. At just over fifteen years this shows a great colour, dark and concentrated, still with a very thin rim of fresh dusty cherry red, and barely a hint of age. The aromatics are fabulously dark and brooding, and complex too, with grilled blackcurrant, red cherry, dried damson, black bean and olive, intertwined with threads of liquorice, leather and toasted tobacco. It has a huge impact at the start of the palate, dark and dripping with ripe and tightly grained tannin, driving forward a wealth of black fruits, currants, olive, slightly high-toned with a touch of soy. I see great substance and structure here still, with an almost primary presence, long and impressive. It has so much going on for fifteen years of age;and it will need decades to show its full potential, yet it is brilliant now. Drink or hold;I advise the latter." (Tasted in 2020, Chris Kissack)
