FALSTAFF: "Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife Zwetschken, ein Hauch von Feigen, dezente Kräuterwürze, feine Beerenfrucht, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, eingelegte Kirschen, zart nach Cassis, würzige, reife Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Nachhall, ein eleganter Speisenbegleiter mit süßem Finish."

ANSON: "Gentle cocoa bean toasting on the opening, gunsmoke and sappy fruit, juicy on the finish, with precisely carved tannins. Average age over 50 years for the vines here, which helped in the vintage, plus they had the biggest team that they'd ever had in the vineyard for harvesting so could be very reactive, 45% new oak barrels plus 25% in 500l barrels, 20hl/ha, 3.65ph. New director Lauren Laudrin has just arrived, so this is the last vintage with Vincent Priou as estate director, altough he will remain as a consultant. This is the 10 year anniversary of the Moulin family at the estate. No chaptilisation."
