  13.5% alcohol. Top quality cork. Pale gold luminous colour.
  The nose is not very expansive, but the floral aromas are very elegant. A bit more characterful in the mouth with a superb racy quality and vg length; in excellent condition, and giving the impression that it will remain so for another five years at least.
  While I admire the fresh (nearly cutting) style, I can't help being slightly underwhelmed by this bottle given the reputation of the domain, not to mention the attendant price tag. Still a vg wine, but maybe not a totally compelling one on this encounter.
  Maybe it just needs more time, or possibly a short decant?

  Very good but was maybe even better younger.

  Yes, I agree with all of the below. This is a very fine wine, superbly crafted from nose to foot. Intriguing smokey and digestible favours. But all with great and delicate structure.
  
  I would buy more if Icould, but it seems to be all gone.
  
  I have one bottle left. And this wine will go on forever.

  This is a very fine bottle. Big fruit, high acid, a little grippy. Flavors linger. Great now and probably very interesting in 20 years.
