Delicious PYCM nose with gunpowder, stone, lemon, white flowers, oak spice with an emphasis on clove and anise. Medium concentration with a slightly short mid-palate, yet a delightful, fresh finish. Very quaffable if you like the house style, 90 points and within the drinking window.

I rarely open PYCM before age 5+ but wanted to try this due to feedback from others, and recent aquisition of 6 more bottles. Subtle nose upon opening, not the - sometimes - exaggerated gun-flint reduction some cuvees from 5-10 years back showed young. Otherwise classic PYCM-signature with lemon oil, some white stone fruits, flint and oak spices with a subtle sweetness. Not at all tropical. Lovely grip and concentration, fullfilling mid palate and a long, beautifully balanced, acidic exit. 1/3 left for the next day, no significant change. 93+ p with 10-15 years ahead. Next bottle in 2 years.

5th bottle of this since 2020. Two bottles very reductive and tight early on, 1 beautiful and 1 slightly ox. This last one is gorgeous from pnp. Sea breeze, grape fruit, spices, white flowers, underripe yellow apples and just a hint of steely lanolin. Wonderful nose. The mouth is also intense, yet light-med bodied, long and acidic. Lingers. A bottle in perfect balance, drinking in its prime. 94 p.
