Here too the restrained if wonderfully broad nose is gloriously spicy if perhaps not quite as floral on the mostly dark berry fruit scents. There is the same lovely purity and excellent energy of the Clos St. Jacques but with more size, weight and power and particularly so on the hugely long and more complex finish. However, this is also more structured and overall, it's likely that this will require fully 20 years to reach its full maturity.

Cask sample. Rather majestic nose. Really very smart indeed! Chapeau!! That's the stuff! Solid but with lots of fruit. Quite fine, ripe tannins in abundance. Already impressive but you really do need to keep this. Cheaper than the famous names?!
