Unbelievable!

This wine has extreme fruit intensity, structure and balance. It is one of those wines which drinks incredibly well now but will keep for a very long time.

Once again the pH to acid relationship is extremely good and the wine has a bit of that less ripe, lean fruit to give the back palate lift and length.

Bill and Dan think that the inclusion of higher percentages of the new clonal material and the older vines are really starting to pay off. They also feel that the subtleness and elegance of the Meyrieux oak is showing through.
