Note di degustazione
The 2014 Les Astéries has a more classically styled nose, quite reserved but there is plenty of fruit that should unfold over the next few years. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very harmonious and lithe, the oak nicely integrated with a smooth and appealing finish. Excellent. This may well be as good as Jonathan Maltus's Le Dôme. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Tasted blind. Quite evolved and round. Lacks a bit of freshness. Heavy. (JR)
The 2014 Les Asteries has retained those complex aromatics that I remarked upon during primeur. Now in bottle, it offers red and black fruit: kirsch, cranberry jus, incense and potpourri aromas that are nicely defined, perhaps a little more opulent compared directly against the 2014 Le Carré. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red cherry and strawberry interlaced with orange rind and a light tang of Seville orange marmalade, finishing with a marine-influenced, quite lightly finish.
Minerally nose and luscious fruit – quite a winning combo. Until the light green astringency on the finish. (JR)
