Drunk in two sittings, 48hrs apart. Initially really quite minerally, citrusy (lime) and relatively tight. Lots of zip and zing giving it a crisp and slightly unforgiving feel in the mouth. Only moderate complexity and length. With air, this has opened slightly and put on a fraction more weight and reveal floral top notes. Starting to open to show a slightly vanilla custard hint in the background, but still pretty lean and minerally. Moderate length but with good cut and a positive finish. ***Decent but not top flight.

There’s just a faint suggestion of honeycomb and nougat development but in the main this is village wine drinking close to its peak. There are notes of lemon, peach and white flowers. It is relatively compact and lithe with good minerally detail and excellent cut.

still very much alive - great acidity, fruit still there. Good village wine even at this age.

Best aangenaam deze PM van Sauzet maar mist de echte vulling van dit grote jaar. Drink hem nu en de komende twee jaar. Frank
