The 2019 L'If has turned out beautifully, bursting from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries, plums and cherries mingled with notions of violets, raw cocoa, rose petals and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and concentrated, it's deep and enveloping, with lively acids and a long, perfumed finish. This gets my nod as the finest L'If to date.
Pretty, slightly lifted nose of violets, raspberries, currants, lemon zest and walnuts. Medium-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Silky. Fresh, vibrant and well-structured. Try in 2024.
