Dédicace 2017, is compared to its “remarkably youthful” great-great grandparent, Dédicace 2012, by Jancis Robinson’s Tamlyn Currin. Both were “scrumptious”, she said.
“It’s almost insane that a wine that costs GBP 12.50 should age this well and have this level of complexity and structure” she wrote on jancisrobinson.com today.
The 2017 is held together by acidity of “diamond-tipped precision”, with a nose that is “unfurling clouds of mimosa blossom, and the hint of the honeyed spice that will come.”
In the 2012, “all that chenin raciness has slowed to something much more dreamy” she added.
