Estimate
The palate is medium-bodied with great structure and fine grip. This is a slightly more masculine La Tâche and replicating its performance in barrel, the fruit spectrum shimmies from red to black...
...surprisingly silky on entry, then sweet but very restrained, even a bit ungiving, in the middle palate, with pungent red berry & mineral flavors conveying an impression of electric energy. This wine builds slowly and inexorably with air
Fireworks in a glass would be the operative description of the super-fresh nose...imposingly powerful and tautly muscular flavors possess outstanding mid-palate density while simultaneously offering excellent delineation...
...the acidity spills around the edges and lifts it to terrific intensity on the palate. Firm, chalky texture but still fluid. Long and so refined that the power is disguised.
