(228-litre cask, still 3 gm sugar to ferment) yellow robe; the bouquet is very promising, offers style and clarity of fruit, good variety to come, peach, peach stone, cooked lemon airs present. The palate is also very silken, continuous, comes with very good elegance, length, harmony. It holds lovely potential, is classy, balanced. There are quince notes on the aftertaste, light jam there. “Rocoules didn’t suffer at all from the drought,” G Sorrel. Drink from 2025 or so, to 2043-45. 5 stars
