Tasting notes
As with the 2009 this shows plenty of rich ripe fruits, well constructed, sleek and silky, white peaches, truffles, apricot pit, well balanced, enjoyable, could do with an extra lift on the finish. Philippe Gervoson owner.

Lemon rind, orange marmalade, honeyed grapefruit and subtle smoke soar from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, this very classic wine is pure and charming, combining finesse with substance. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2030.
The nose is vibrant and attractive and promises more than what the palate offers: fairly simple peach and apricot flavours. There is a slightly hollowness in the mid palate and the finish is short. asianpalate.com
