"Strong reduction and plenty of sulfur make for a difficult nose at present. However there is terrific energy and an abundance of minerality to the very fresh middle weight flavors that possess excellent delineation on the delicious and surprisingly powerful finish that delivers outstanding length. This should be superb in time."

"Bright yellow-green color. Subtle aromas of lemon, pineapple, lime blossom and crushed stone. Dense, tactile and sweet, with ripe pineapple fruit framed and lifted by sappy acidity. Finishes long and strong, with excellent lift for the vintage. This is 13.4% alcohol without chaptalization, according to Philippe Drouhin."
