-From Becky Wasserman
"Tasted 11/30/2018. Barrel sample. Fined in January and bottled in March. Three parcels.
A spicy, creamy nose with just a touch of clementine. Rich and rounded in the mouth. Deep and rich but makes you salivate with that salty character. Rich and piercing at the same time. Gorgeous fullness in the mouth but tight on the finish. (JH)" --Jancis Robinson, 16.5
Drink between now and 2025ish, but patience is always rewarded with Lafarge wines.
