February 1, 2020 - While the last 4 or 5 vintages of CEB have always been terrific, they have displayed a bit of youthful chubbiness, playful, even perhaps slightly exotic. The 17 however, is a much more serious specimen. Riding a firm, almost taut wave of citrusy pear that splashes on a firm mineral backbone making this immediately obvious this is a superb rendition of this top shelf OR Chard. Still accessible enough to reward early enjoyment, but be sure to lay down at least a couple for 5 to 8 years, perhaps longer. The 17 Clos Electrique is Electric for sure!
