Tasting notes
Pure aromas of ginger, flowers and spices. Dense, intensely flavored and quite suave, with very fresh spearmint and mineralflavors. Like the Grenouilles, this big, rich and concentrated wine may be even better than the 2004 version. Expands impressively on the back end, finishing very long and pure.

Restrained, pebbly, flowery nose. A little low in acidity. Still some hint of astringence. Slightly hot finish. (JR)
Good pale green color. More expressive if somewhat less complex on the nose than the Valmur, with notes of menthol, mint and banana. Fat and fruity in the mouth, with the exotic banana note reappearing. Offers plenty of palate feel, but finishes with some alcoholic warmth. Much more vintage-typical than the Valmur.
