Intense oak and spice on the nose is matched by lush fruit and an appealingly rich hue

Beautifully constructed with precise and expressive fruit

wood spice and distillate-driven nuttiness

the Presle is still tightly wound and in need of time

Since then Étienne has found his own voice and made a range of increasingly fine wines

This is really very good. 91 100, Alan Meadows, Burghound
