Pas d’oxy ici, un windsbuhl tendu, énergique, complexe, un rien sérieux ! Nez enivrant, offrant une spirale d’arômes exotiques, de pamplemousse confit, zeste d’agrumes, et même floraux, épicés, terriens, bourrés d’énergie et de puissance. En bouche on la sent et un peu trop même car les 15° finissent par harasser un poil… Mais c bon, sans fatigue aromatique sur cette bouteille. Il envoie encore du lourd (registre sec et minéral)…

On the nose it seems slightly oxidised, but on the palate there are no signs of oxidation. High concentration and complexity, balancing the high acidity and alcohol. Long finish. Based on the aromas, it's over the top. Drink soon.

This wine should clearly be drunk - you are getting a nose with nectarine and a hint of oxidation (not pronounced) - the palette gives you more nectarine (a hint of bitterness) and other tropical fruits - some oxidation I am lovering my rating to 89 because acidity is to dominant - for me oxidation is not bad at the moment - it will how ever become more dominant I fear.

Remains lots of fun and I think my fears about it drying out are slightly premature. Rich, unctuous yet dry. Nectarine nose. Don't hold too long though.

Compared to a year ago this wine has now started to hollow out and is definitely past its prime.
