A vintage challenged by botrytis but the LVMH-owned house was at the top of its game. Flirtatiously fragrant nose with complex toasty and charred tones. The fruit is pure and appetising, but it is the palate that carries the most pleasant surprise – such volume and generosity yet with an acidity that rolls in at just the right moment. The palate finishes with fine mineral sensations of great length, its reserved nature hinting at more to come.
