Golden, heady, glossy somehow with real grand cru weight. Round, smooth and a real treat. No suggestion of any shortcomings even in this vintage,
Sublimely complex aromas of white flowers and citrus wrapped in a gentle hint of wood spice introduce sappy, powerful, mouth coating and classy flavors of superb density and weight, all wrapped in a finish that delivers simply huge length. This is a big wine yet everything remains perfectly balanced, impeccably focused and at present, the finish is linear, which is unusual for such an imposing effort. In a word, extraordinary.
