Robert Parker (96)

This is a limited bottling of a 2011 Les Bruyères Vin Jaune 12 Years of Age. It's a blend of three barrels in a medium cellar (he has cooler and wetter but also warmer and drier ones) and three barriques in a very warm cellar, where the evolution of the wine is faster and there's more concentration from evaporation. This is around 18.5% alcohol, powerful and full-bodied, peaty and smoky, with lots of iodine. It showcases the classical Trias soils in the shape of a large wine, powerful and pungent, nuttier and with a big impact on your palate. Definitely different...
