Don't miss! Outstanding
Note: from a .70 ha parcel, most of which are 80+ year old vines
Tasting note: Reduction presently renders the nose difficult to assess. On the plus side there is lovely freshness and underlying tension to the full-bodied and robust broad-shouldered flavors that are blessed with a beguiling inner mouth perfume as well as seemingly endless reserves of sappy dry extract that pushes the very firm tannic spine to the background. I very much like the balance as well as the huge length and in contrast to some of the wines in the range, this may well be approachable after only 7 to 8 years yet easily repay 20 years of bottle age, perhaps even more.
