In its youth the wine showed a lot of finesse and elegance. It should be drunk soon even if the nose remains intense, fairly deep and fresh. (October 2025)

The four previous years had been late harvests; 1981 then, was the return to a classic harvesting date. The flowering went quickly and evenly, August was very hot and dry, and after a few rain showers in September, the weather was very good for the whole of the harvest, which began on 1st October.
