More concentrated than the normal wine and very fresh still, with zesty fruit flavours, but not enough complexity for the price. The 2015 Filliatreau is as good for 3 times less.

Mature nose, red berries, herbs, leather. Medium bodied, elegant, balanced, in need of food to really fulfill it´s potential. Needs air as well.

Fantastiskt vin, dofr av blåbär och ceder, smak av tobak och viss gräston. Koncentrerat men samtidigt elegant

Lovely aromas of flowers, peppers, and game. Very elegant on the palate, showing purity of fruit and superb balance. Drinking well after 1 hr of decanting. Not bad for an off vintage.

Deep, dark and very chocolatey. Currently rather monolithic, too influenced by its new oak ageing for me. Some odd medicinal notes as well. However its non-crescendo sibling was awesome recently and the raw materials here must be even better, so perhaps at an awkward stage.
