Estimate
Linear and taut, this racy white delivers lemon tart, stone, vanilla and toasted brioche aromas and flavors, showing youthful harmony as well as a smoky, sultry finish. Offers excellent intensity, balance and length.
...unfurls in the glass with a reticent bouquet of lemon rind, citrus, hazelnut cream, white flowers and mandarin oil. On the palate, it's full-bodied, both denser and blockier than the Bienvenues-Bâtard, with exceptional concentration, tangy acids and a long finish.
There is seriously good size, weight and vibrancy to the broad-shouldered and admirably concentrated flavors that possess evident power on the serious, palate staining and strikingly long finish.
...conveying a honeyed ripeness and a hint of resiny oak. Then tightly clenched in the mouth, with a penetrating orange juice flavor dominating.
The oak is subtle and perfectly judged as spice. Soaring glory, tight in the middle and long on the stony, mouth-watering finish.
