This wine’s deep flinty minerality combines with its air of toast spread with fresh butter. Age brings it notes of honey or ripe pear. Curved and opulent, its attack is beautifully strong. On the palate, its fullness suits its softness through to the finish.
The older vintages are accompanied by leather and truffle. With its unparalleled richness, this wine always astonishes through its concentration and its balance.
Its structure is clearly robust. More vigorous than flowery, it is also a little wild. Roundness and elegance merge under the same, delicately tannic power. The aromas evoke violet, humus and undergrowth.
