Tasting Notes:
“ With powerful oak and spice and a very firm mid-palate, this is a strong and closed vintage for L’Essentiel and it will mature slowly for a long time opening gradually with every passing year. When you come to drink it, hopefully in a decade’s time, you will have to decant it to give it some air and this will open the black fruit up beautifully. ”
