Pure, sharply delineated aromas of lemon, pineapple, minerals and crushed stone. Large-scaled, silky and dense; this has real grand cru palate presence and breadth. The best of these 2002s today by a clear margin. Finishes powerful, rich and very long, with gripping flavors of lime and grapefruit.
Reviews:
- Allen Meadows: A very fine and understated, ultra refined and pure, intensely floral and spicy nose that is so seductive that one can simply smell this wine and enjoy it. The flavors are so detailed and delineated that they seem to be crafted from liquid stone as the minerality is nothing other than pungent, it is so strong.
- Vinous: Pure, sharply delineated aromas of lemon, pineapple, minerals and crushed stone. Large-scaled, silky and dense; this has real grand cru palate presence and breadth. The best of these 2002s today by a clear margin. Finishes powerful, rich and very long, with gripping flavors of lime and grapefruit.
