Incredibly floral on the nose and palate with a strong acidic backbone. Enjoyed by everyone at our table of 8, including two winemakers. Drinking well today.

A pleasing nose of plum compote and spice. Purple and blue fruit with some mocha on the palate. Good acidity and an exceptionally long finish. Very good for its age; I liked this considerably more than the 21 La Genie. While drinkable with a long decant, for maximum enjoymeent, I would not touch until a minimum of 8 years from vintage.

Drinking younger than the vintage, with ripe fruit still prominent. Should drink well for another 5 years.
