This good quality harvest produced a powerful wine—tannic and austere in its youth.
Tasted in 2011, and again more recently in 2023, the nose remained closed, but the palate impressed with its density and freshness. It still seemed so young… How moving to think this wine was produced during the war! (2023)
Climate
Very fine weather generally throughout the whole year, including the harvest. However, it would appear that the ripeness did not reach optimal levels. Perhaps everybody was in as much of a hurry to harvest as they were to see the end of the bloody war that had been raging in Europe for four years. (The picking began 20th September)
