This was superb. Still youthful with aged notes in perfect balance like so many 2008 now. This is such a great vintage. You feel the Belle Epoque taste here to recon the profile. 93 now with only more to come and long life ahead

Expressive nose with violet, cream, yellow apples, orange and a touch of smoke. After a while just hints of very high quality almonds. On the palate light and elegant. Not the most intense experience but very well balanced, elegant and complex. Again cream and oranges and a touch of winegums. Medium acidity, a touch of chalk, salt, iodine and smoke. Good lenght.
Very nice! True to the elegant, fresh, light style I associate with this cuveé. In a good spot now.
Drinks well now. Lots red and yellow apples, yest is there but not profound, acidity still vivid. Comes down to taste but I would say drinks well now especially after 30 min in the glass. Can easily take another 5-10 years.
