100 DM. "The things that differentiate the good from the truly great are layers and persistence. And here, Denis Durantou manages not just layers, but new flavours that manage to flood in and fill any available gap. So we have cassis and bilberry, with damson, charcoal, liquorice and pure blackberry juice filling the crevices between. This is a vertical wine, and yet stretches out to the horizon. It's going to age and age, and then some more. What a perfectly taut and thrilling wine, one that stakes a claim for greatness in 2015." Jane Anson, Decanter Magazine, Dec 2017 |
