Dunkles Goldgelb. In der Nase von exotischen Früchten geprägt, Ananas, Mango, Gewürze, super komplex, tiefgründig und im Kontext des Jahrgangs mit einer Fruchtaromatik, die seinesgleichen sucht. Im Gaumen mit viel Schmelz und Opulenz, fast schon zwei Mund voll Wein, cremige Textur, viel Druck, mit steigender Temperatur auch Alkohol, was der einzige Kritikpunkt bei diesem Wein ist, doch trotz dieser hohen Gradation ist alles in Harmonie. Im Abgang ausgesprochen lang. Ein Big big Wine, mit grossen Reserven.

Wines with Paul and friends: Popped and poured. Similar impression to the ‘15 Le Meal that I had a couple of years ago. Superb tension and intensity despite the rounder texture that was true to its origins. Some almond notes with pure, driven citrus fruit. Incredibly youthful for its age given the premox record with this producer. The whites are truly great wines unlike the reds.
Friday Wine Group - JL (Blind Lunch): Tasted Blind - golden in color, high viscosity in the glass. Nose of slight lemon, and even slighter honey. Nose was not strong. Creamy mouth feel, acidic and dry, maybe a little hot. But subtle flavors of white fruit and lemon, and ever so slight honey. I guessed a southern Rhone around 10 years old, with a condrieu as my second guess. Close.

Really an amazing wine with long life ahead. Paired against the Marcassin 2010 Chard and both were exceptional.
