Very bright color, with streams of tiny, steady bubbles.

 

The nose is subtle and elusive, yet all compassing with discreet bouquet slowly evolving from praline, seaside smell, walnut, damp wool, straw towards butter, honey, toffee and chalky minerality. The evolution is so slow and restrained that you feel like being kept away at a mysterious distance. But what class!

 

The taste is rich and harmonious, yet still restrained. Throughout our tasting of over 2.5 hours, the velvety curtain of exquisite, mellow fruit(lemon, grapefruit and then pear peel) is seldomly lifted. There are, of course, signs of something big in the making behind the scene: a hard-core of mineral, praline and walnut are waiting for the show…

 

A 25-year-old, and disgorged 11 years ago? We just won’t believe this in blind tasting…The mere fact that it’s still in the fruit-driven stage gives us enormous confidence in its longevity and potential...
