It all came together in this vintage and ‘hype’ over the DRC wines was fully justified. Picking took place in ideal conditions after a long, hot and dry summer. Consequently, the wines really ‘have it all’, oozing class, breed, fleshy delights and a satiny texture. There is a pure Splendour in the Glass here, so revel in it. To hesitate is to lose out!
