tasting note: "An exceptional blend of the famous Fay Estate and S.L.V.
Estate, this wine dates back to the 1970s and is spectacular in this vintage.
Juicy, bright and effusive, it offers a lightness of spice, well-integrated oak
and a cohesive, silky texture. Structured, it shows dark-berry fruit, a hint of
crushed rock and fig, expansive and joyful on the palate. This should age
beautifully; enjoy best from 2028 through 2038. Virginie Boone" - 98/100, Wine

“Solid, structured, slightly old school
version, with a core of red and black currant fruit held in check for now by
strident tannins and notes of warm loam and cast iron. There's freshness and a
violet note buried here too, so worth waiting for it to unwind fully. Just a
bit of a bruiser now. Best from 2022 through 2032. 3,118 cases made.”
