Tasting Notes

88
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 05
Pale yellow. Aromatic nose of stone fruits, petrol and gunflint; shows an almost vendange tardive-like ripeness. Then fat, concentrated, large-scaled and rich, with an exotic honeyed flavor. The strong alcohol and toasty oak give the finish a dry edge.
