Tasting Notes
Quite a solid yellow robe; the bouquet involves roast nuts, peach, greengage, lime airs, variety in it, also aniseed, floral, salted white raisin prompts. The palate has a rich intensity, is very thorough, profound, lip smacking, carries a toffee-dried raisin flavour, but also has structure, like a red wine. It’s very grown up, serious, very fine on the finish after the compact richness, the interior solid, some sweet oak present. It’s a very long-term wine. "This was harvested 29 August, has bel balance, a lot of freshness; you can make a fine wine despite the precocity of the harvest," J-L Chave. I would be in no hurry here – drink from 2029 plus.
