"A classic Giacosa Falletto showing real authority: concentrated and tight showing great purity. Fresh and lifted with bright aromatics. The herbal character enlivens the sip, finishing with a touch of mint and chocolate. Tannins are perfectly integrated. Great." Armit Wines

This wine is an astonishing blend of 127 wines from 11 different vintages. Sitting at either end of the vintage spectrum here we have 1990 as the oldest wine and a generous proportion of the stunning 2008.

Does it quite have the finesse? Maybe. The Clos de Bèze certainly has the energy and the backbone which allows for a fresher finish. Ripe through and through." 94-96, Jasper Morris
