(Gaston Chicquet "Special Club") Hugely detailed nose of roasted nuts, salt, citrus fruits, wool. New aromas each time I put my nose to the glass. The entry onto the palate is dramatic and intense with waves of bright almost sweet/sour (Riesling-like tension) citrus fruits. Cuts a deep swath on the palate and has some nutty elements in the middle. The acid is sharp yet has a softness due to brilliant integration. After a while open a smokey, bacon element comes out that is not that dissimilar to Hermitage or Crozes-Hermitage. This is unbelievable.

Drank with Tom. He sold this wine to me 20 years ago. Drinking well but fully aged meaning it has developed caramel flavors. There was some underlying fruit but it took awhile to come out. bubbles were still small and enthusiastic.

Very nice, sure. But I'm still not getting a hint of the promise this showed on release.

Color deepening to gold. Mature bouquet with some pine resin and mushroom notes. Acidity is very edgy -- and edging out the last of the fruit. Drink soon.
