Absolutely beautiful, unfathomable minerally depths, but also so floral it might be a Riesling, lovely citrus fruit, lemon peel, the gentlest warmth from the wood, deceptively light, ever so charming, intense yet incredibly refined, gains weight with oxygen, excellent length, the merest hint of vanilla. Transcendent beauty, drink now or 2017 - 2037, but I do not think that it will close down completely.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Subtle, stylish, lovely red fruit, depth, some spiciness from the stalks, red earth, Asian spice, floral touch, very precise, surprisingly forward, no great concentration but nice weight, lovely hint of sweetness, fresh, transparent and precise, satiny, elegant finely-grained tannins, very good length, roses, lovely nuance, hint of Asian spice. Perfectly delicious. Now - 2026.
