What a wonderful example of Batard balancing its natural corpulence with real aromatic interest, packed with ripe stone fruit and citrus, slightly brûlée, lingering on the palate.

Started off a little muted with an advanced oxidation that initially led me to believe it was suffering from slight premox but a little bit of air opened up into beautiful honey and flowers nose and wonderful long lasting palate. Drink now if you have them.

A very nice bottle. Properly developed with notes of truffled honey, toast, smoke and candied peach. It is intense and powerful, with loads of minerality just below the surface. There's some vanilla and nutmeg spice and it is complex and engaging with bitter fruit rind freshness to the long finish.
