Good bright yellow. Sexy apricot and orange oil on the pungent nose. Rich, powerful and dry; uncompromising today and beefier than the Bienvenue. Finishes savory, dry and a bit youthfully warm. Today this comes across as heavier than the Bienvenue, but there's also more wine here.
Complex, lightly toasty nose, creamy, fresh and, again, rather soft. Nice flavour – citrus and creamy – but seems to lack structure at this level. (JH)
