definitely a nice wine which tastes younger than its 18 years. that being said I had expected more from this terroir and it seems the potential of the wine is not completely released. I am not sure it will happen over the coming years.
Nice complex notes without the concentration expected (which is not entirely a bad thing); in the mouth it was rather developed and not as precise as hoped for.

From half. The promising nose and a great structure and length are in sync here. Slightly golden color, looking a bit more evolved than it tastes. Clean and focused, with very slight citrus fruit notes. minerals. Excellent bottle.

I found only a half-bottle size of this wine. Anyway, deep in very golden colour. Clean, deep and dense in nosing, strong tropical fruit, peach, flowery and mineral. The structure is serious dense like a syrup, very well-round, a little bit heavy but not overloaded. The aftertaste is deep, powerful and long finished.
Compares with the elegant 1997...um....should buy them both then ask your feeling...what cha gonna treat your soul this evening...
