2012 - Meeting with new friends (Sabatini cucina, Taipei): Alcohol :: 13% 12hrs SO without cork. Medium garnet core with light hue. Freah mint and grass intermixed with dried longan and red cherry sweetness. There is this additional layer of peppery spiciness at the background, with lavender and violet like floral scents simply make the bouquet super and breathtaking. Light - Medium bodied. The palate is well delineated, precise and refreshing still, good sense of elegance and mineral. It has a gentle grip of spiciness and herbs, as well as inner perfume of dark floral bring out the complexity though not really good in depth, but the friendliness and approachable is really good. With time, the dried longan note changed to haw flakes with intense minerality which leads to really intense, juicy finished. Drinking really well now.

Nice wine - grand cru pedigree but 1er cru power.
