91 Points

Tuesday, August 1, 2017 - Consumed over two days. On the first day massively impressive: concentrated nose of jaggery, currants, ripe greengages, tarte tatin, candied tangerine peel, stewed apricots, incense, star anise. Expressive on the palate, with baked and caramelised orchard fruits, candied kumquat, toffee apple, and burnt sugar. Enormous acidity keeps the sweetness in check and provides both depth and backbone. Very long, sweet, clean finish, resonating with an almost muscat note. Less vital on the second day - the aromas were muted, and the body had lost some stuffing, leading to a disappointing lightness in the midpalate. Still, a very appealing, well-made, and multilayered wine, approaching the end of its drinking window.
