In original straws and original wooden cases
Tasting Note:......Showing well in 1991 at a DRC tasting in New York: bouquet fully developed and 'fantastic'; impressively sweet, fullish, very flavoury with good grip and fabulous aftertaste. Most recently at Wagner's vertical. Aubert de Villaine told us that hail in June reduced the yield to a mere 12 hl/ha. Now a palish, pretty coloured wine; very distinctive fragrance with a touch of malt, which Aubert put down to the tannins; very sweet, very rich, meaty character; great length, very dry finish. Last tasted in Zurich, March 1998 **** M.B.
