**Note: a 2 ha parcel with a mix of 80% 75+ year old vines and the remainder of 15 to 20 year old vines**
This was quite strongly reduced and about the only visible aspect is a bit of wood toast. There is fine concentration as the mid-palate benefits from the abundant dry extract that imparts a velvety texture to the intense and round medium weight flavors that culminate in a mildly austere finish that stops a bit short. This is on the disjointed side today but the underlying material appears excellent plus the consistent track record of this wine is such that my range offers the benefit of the doubt. Note that this will require at least a decade of cellar time before it realizes its full potential. Drink 2021+.
