Tasting Notes: A symphony of soft oak and exceptional Sauvignon flavours, focussed with superb intensity. Really excellent wine with great agreeability. Fresher than Pessac-Léognan, promising years of drinking pleasure.

If you can put away some bottles for a couple of years, you can delay the pleasure and have it back with interest for anything up to 10 years after harvest.
