Lot 57 Details
VÉRITÉ LA JOIE 2001

Sonoma County.
1 x marked label.

It has fabulous fruit on the attack and mid-palate, a massive, concentrated, tannic mouthfeel and a long finish. Even younger than La Muse, it needs another decade of cellaring and should age for 40-50 years thereafter. Pierre Seillan told me that 44% of the grapes came from Alexander Valley, 35% from Knight’s Valley and the rest from Chalk Hill. May 2011 Drink to 2071 WA 95+

2 bts.    per lot $400 - $600

Realised: $780
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
