Tasting notes
Vivid yellow-gold. An exotically perfumed bouquet displays heady scents of dried pear, peach pit, tangerine, smoky lees and minerals, with a suave floral element gaining strength with aeration. Stains the palate with concentrated pit and orchard fruit flavors that are braced by juicy acidity and given bite by a gingery note. The smoky quality comes back strong on the chewy, mineral-tinged finish, which shows outstanding tenacity and focus. Aged on its lees for 12 years before disgorgement and release.

Lively with a very tight bead and very delicate and filigree. Nice wine! Neat rather than showy, but would make a lovely aperitif. Extremely clean and spreads right across the palate. Retasting note: Fine and firm and pretty sophisticated and positive. Very dense and no hurry to drink. Rapier-like. Long. (JR)
