Tasting Notes

This was sufficiently reduced at the time of my visit that it was aromatically unreadable other than to say that the underlying fruit seems notably ripe. Otherwise, there is both good freshness and vibrancy to the imposingly constituted flavors that, like the Chevalier, manage to retain an unequalled grace and refinement on the gorgeously persistent finish where a hint of wood surfaces. This is quite firmly structured, partially thanks to the impressively deep reserves of dry extract but also because of the very firm citrus-tinged acidity and between the two, this beauty should age for a very long time. Drink: 2027+
