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.

1 of 7 PnP First time with this … light yellow color, lovely nose of yellow fruits, good intensity, rounder texture than I expected, balanced nice finish … picked up complexity after 90 minutes in the glass. Very solid bottle

Quite a big wine, voluptuous - good but not the best example in this vintage

Needs further time for the wood to integrate a little more, but all the materials are there for this to be excellent with some patience.
