| Colour | Yellow mature in colour. | Number of tastings | 3 |
| Bouquet | Violet, crème caramel, cacao, dark chocolate, some alcohol and old grocery shop in the nose. | Score range | 16.00 - 16.75 |
| Taste | Medium body. Mature and at its peak maybe even a little old but balanced and with some old but quite delicate acidity. Violet and burned sugar in flavour. A quite elegant and complex finish. Quite extraordinary for the vintage year but drink up, will not be better. | Average score | 16.38 |
| Last tasted | 2nd February 2019 | Point this date | 16.40 |
| Comment | At home with the family. This was the only house declared this vintage to our knowledge. | Tasters | SAI, JB, SS |
