Review Date: 09/2024There is something deliciously different about 'the Count's barrel'. It begins with ripe aromas of Mirabelle plums and acacia blossoms, with an almost honeyed note underneath. The texture is creamy, rich and dense, the finish long. Undeniably wonderful today, this will improve in five to 10 years and age for decades beyond that. The grapes are from 0.7ha in Fourchaume, planted between 1934 and 1952 on a site that takes the sunshine for the entire afternoon, giving it superb ripeness and balance.(CC)

Still made from the original old vines, not yet in bottle. A racy clear colour with a lime green tint. The bouquet is much more electric than the regular, and though the wood percentage is higher, there is less evidence. The second half of the wine extends beautifully through to the saline finish. Understated yet evidently very high class. Drink from 2027-2033. Tasted Jun 2025.

Enough wood to merit mentioning surrounds the sightly riper if otherwise similar nose. The old vines are very much in evidence as there is an abundance of sappy dry extract adding a sense of volume and density to the larger-bodied flavors that possess slightly better depth. While this too could easily be enjoyed young, it should effortlessly repay up to a decade of keeping.*Burghound Sweet Spot Outstanding!*
