Wow! Amazing nose: lanolin, wax, honey, citrus, florals, herbs, straw... this is as complex as it gets. 3 hours in the glass and it does not budge. I wonder if this will improve but it should keep on for at least 10 years. Incredible structure and presence, great wine.

Golden pale yellow. Restraint, intensely mineral nose with quince. Very savory, masculine, non fruity palate. A wine for men may I say. Lean, dry but creamy enough to support its seriousness.

This is a property of which I am very enthusiastic so expectations were high, not disappointed. The wine is terrifically harmonious and complete; very soulful. Preserved lemons mostly in the nose but imbued with an apricot aroma; not bitten nor even cut simply picked up an sniffed deeply. Very supple in the mouth. No reason to wait except for the right occasion.

from 2013 ex-chateau magnum. a little acetone in the nose at first, pretty ripe, flinty, with lovely lemon citrus notes.
