This is a fascinating wine, as despite '17 being an extremely hot vintage, it retains beautiful freshness, likely due to the inclusion of 15% whole bunches in fermentation. It has a gorgeous, harmonious aroma, a mix of red plums, fragrant herbs and violets. The mid-palate is beautifully supple, silky and red-fruited. Originally rated 96 on release, it holds this score today, a testament to its inherent quality. Points: 96/100
