Tasting Notes

91
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 16
(from 15-year-old vines): Deep, musky aromas of peach, pear and flowers. A step up in energy and precision from the foregoing samples, conveying a firmer, lower-pH mouthfeel. Nicely juicy and high-pitched, with a strong calcaire minerality and lively acidity giving the wine a gripping, firmly structured finish. A bit uncompromising today but not phenolic.
