Tasting notes
Late vintage. Notably concentrated. Very deep greenish gold. Masses of acidity. Tastes much more youthful than it looks. Savoury and gorgeous. Remarkably youthful. (JR)

Pale yellow-gold. Reticent nose hints at minerals and iodine, with fruit very much in the background today. Then dense and deep on the large-scaled palate, with an orange pith flavor complicated by flowers and spices. All stone on the long, powerful finish. Much less expressive today than the Bienvenue and in need of several years of cellaring.
