  Oak, minerals and apples. Something special. Hard to describe. Would be nice to drink/taste again. 89?

  Lemon and orange peel, hints of ripe yellow fruit, a whiff of spicy minerals on the rather closed nose. These elements return on the balanced, but at the moment tight palate. There's maybe a bit more ripe fruit & glycerol and a bit less acidity here than in 2007, but it is certainly still young. Reminds me again of a ripe top Chablis (or maybe Corton Charlie) from a warm vintage. Give at least a year in bottle before tasting again.
