Tasting notes
Pale color. Reticent nose hints at lime, menthol and mint. Dense, juicy and aromatic on the palate, with enticing lemony cut. Mineral and floral flavors are still a bit tightly wound and youthfully aggressive, and there's a slight alcoholic warmth. Most impressive today in its very persistent finishing flavors of white flowers and powdered stone.

Cask sample . Good green fruit aromas. Lively, dense, and cracking. (JR)
(13.2% alcohol without chaptalization) Fruit-driven aromas of pink grapefruit, ripe apple, peach and spices, with a hint of exotic fruits. Fat, tactile, ripe and sweet, but without quite the precision or minerality of the Montee de Tonnerre. Comes across as comparatively rustic today, with a bit of warmth in the middle and youthful hardness on the end. A bit inscrutable today: will it show the grip of the best 2002s?
