fabulous nose is opulent and rich, lots of golden fruits, a little nuts and honey, layers of salty umami stuff, lifted and complex... rich and silky on the palate before turning to classic stony and salty notes accented by baked fruits... this seemed mature but I could see it continuing to give pleasure for many years

Subdued but pretty nose with sweet apple most prominent. Very steely and sharp on the tongue. Not as stand-out as I hoped for at $95 but definitely delicious and elegant. I imagine some time in the cellar will help bring out the finer nuances of this bottle, but for now I'm going to call it a little over-priced.
