Tasting notes
The discreet hint of pain grillé this displayed from barrel has now been fully integrated into the now much more expressive nose that offers complex notes of peach, pear and apricots that complement perfectly the full-bodied flavors that are remarkably precise and intense, underpinned by driving intensity and a mineral-suffused finish that goes on and on. In short, this is a drop dead gorgeous wine that should age for upwards of 15 years though there is so much dry extract that it will be approachable after another 2 to 4 years.

Pure, scented aromas of lime and mint. Chewy, sweet and superrich, with very intense lime and floral flavors framed by vibrant acidity. Boasts a wonderfully fine texture and very firm structure for aging. Powerful but also very classy wine, with terrific inner-mouth energy and superb length for a premier cru.
