Tasting Notes

The new owners (Pinault) did a bottling of the blend that was already done. They just removed one barrel - sent it to distillation. 2010 was a very good vintage anyway. 40% heavily toasted new oak. 60% unoaked.
NB vintage. Smells of pears and May blossom. Really quite rich. You could hardly have more contrast between this and the 2011! Big and mealy… Not so smoky and reductive. Some honey.
