The 2016 La Gaffeliere is a wine that I was only able to taste at the UGC in London. Two bottles were tasted, both showing more VA than I would have liked. I’ll refrain from scoring this now and seek to revisit the wine at a later date, since it showed so well from cask. Januar 2019

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 La Gaffeliere opens with compelling wild blueberries, freshly crushed plums and kirsch scents plus hints of garrigue, underbrush, rose hip tea and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant with a soft, velvety texture and seamless freshness carrying the multilayered fruit to a long finish. November 2018

This is really decadent and rich with great aromas of earth, spice, frost flowers and fresh mushrooms that follow through to a full body, firm and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Very, very serious from here. A blend of 70 per cent merlot and 30 per cent cabernet franc. Try after 2025. Februar 2019
