98 Points

Monday, October 21, 2019 - Tasting with Olivier Bernstein (Bourbon Steak, Washington D.C.): Unbelievably expressive nose displaying opulent concentrated yellow fruit, dry apricot, apricot tart, mango, dry peach, pineapple, really strong botrytis, cream brulee, spicy spices and candied ginger. Exceptional concentration, layers upon layers of opulent yellow fruit, dense and oily yet beautifully balanced and weightless, medium acidity and a long rich yellow fruit driven finish with botrytis and candied ginger at the end. Although drinking perfectly, this remains very youthful and can improve for at least two more decades.
