Sweet blackberry currants, strawberry licorice, black plum, black tea, black earth, dried roses, dry black earth, gravel, underbrush, crushed dry rock powder, dark dry sweet mineral finish. I will open my first bottle in 2020. It's getting close but not quite there yet. Tasted from the Chateau. — 10 years ago

Sweet fruit and a bit fatty, as one would expect from a "millesime soleil", but acidity and minerality balance it all. Very good. — 12 years ago

Delicious! Nose reminds of white burg but there is a slight tropical tenderness and almost saline element that distinguishes. Definitely a baby but loving it — 12 years ago
