François¿ refusal to "yo-yo" his prices up and down and the continued pursuit of ever better wines is admirable in the extreme. Dense ruby, this presents a sweet, refined, toffee-ed nose, rich in very pure red fruit. Flamboyant, mocha-rich, the palate is rich, stylish and upbeat with good density, medium weight and lovely balance. There's a compelling, adroit focus throughout a long, concentrated, toasted coffee-ed finish - stunning translation of the vintage.
