The trio of golden 80s - 82, 85 &
88. Thanks to Ray and Donny
for sharing!

The subtle dairy aroma covers the hints of yeast, caramel, toffee, coffee, red & dark fruits - a bomb underneath, with the countdown timer ticking! Just a sip, it explodes - the core of above mentioned elements, intensified further by saline minerality & taut acidity, packs a big punch! Forceful, fragrant aftertaste of walnut. Authoritative. This is
real stuff!
Tasted on
April 30, 2017
After an initial whiff of dairy aroma, soft & delectable
scents of mandarine orange & red apple greet the nose. The
echoing succulency of mandarine orange & red
apple caresses the taste bud, further enhanced by evolved flavors
of preserved plum. Complexities of caramel, walnut & coffee
emerge on the mid palate and extend onto the finish. With aeration
& warming up, a bright unctuosity & vinosity shine through.
And the charms of walnut, coffee & white chocolate
prevail.

We wait quite
a bit before the 2nd round, which is totally revealing! Now the
more evolved red & dark world of Pinot seems to have
disappeared into thin air, leaving with us almost a Blanc de Blancs
(white & yellow fruits with cream) of mega
aura
&
ageless poise. ONE OF THE
ALL-TIME GREATS!
