(Chartogne-Taillet "Cuvée Fiacre Taillet") ($78.00) Less “toppy” than the vintage, and more integrated than either the ’00 or ’02, this vibrates on a high frequency, trebly and silky but a bit arch at the moment, and needs to calm down. It has the sweet-sour spice of fusion-y desserts. There’s potential here, but this sample was clouded by flavor-static.
