Thursday, June 23, 2016 - Even better than the previous tasting note. Has surpassed the finesse and body that a Chevalier Montrachet can offer. Has this unique combination of terroir, dried apricot, Madagascar pure vanilla and toast. Creamy, silky and robust. Is approaching its apogee, and will last for 5 years thereafter. Very expensive, but worth every sip. Convinced even the most snobby red Bordeaux drinkers around the table. An art.
