Agree to the opinions stating this has less acidity than usual. As for other 22s, this felt borderline flabby, especially when warming up. Nose is wonderful, fruit is great but it doesn't have this electric feel of other vintages. Probably better to be consumed sooner than later.

Elegant, light-footed. Beautiful acidity and not too sweet. Could have benefited from a little more stuffing (as in complexity) but otherwise very much on point.

Never a bad wine from Thivin. The Sept Vignes is made (hence the name) from seven different plots and maybe this makes it more flexible in managing vintage variation. That being said, you can still feel the warmth of the vintage with the fruit certainly more in the darker spectrum. Still very juicy and not cloying at all. Tannic structure and acidity may keep this evolving for a couple of additional years but I'd rather drink them sooner than later.
