Louis Mitjavile makes this near Ch Ferrand Lartigue.
Tasted blind. Both sweet and sharp with lots of density. And pretty tannic on the end. Lots going on there. Interesting!
Drink 2023-2035
Tasted blind at the Southwold group 2014 tasting.
Deep ruby colour, with an exotic, expressive nose of bramble fruits, liquorice, roasted coffee and nutmeg. The palate is smooth and round, with plush, ripe and soft tannins framing ripe and juicy fruit. This is smooth and plump, with lashings of smoky, spicy notes to add layers of complexity. The fruit cuts through the spiciness and gives a juicy mid-palate that is very moreish. Ripe and vibrant through to the finish, this can be drunk now but will continue to develop well over the next 6-10 years.
