The grilled character on the opening beats is more campfire than gunsmoke, just a little warmer and more evident than with the Lafite, meaning both estates are very much staying true to their character.

Delicious, and growing into a spectacular wine as it ages. 100% new oak, Philippe Dhalluin director.
