Tasting Notes |
---|
Very pale lemony colour, with a vinous nose. Plenty of gently waxy, nectarine fruit quality. A lovely background vegetal, truffly note, but really quite fresh. There's some figgy, lemon zest notes, but all very subtle and subdued compared to the 1982, but full of finesse. The palate it rounded and flooded with quite a fat lemony fruit. This seems like a much simpler wine, with beautiful fruit quality. It seems positively one-dimensional compared to many here, though there is undoubtedly a wonderful purity and beauty. Nutty almond and hazelnut toasty notes begin to come through, and the acidity is lovely. Beautiful wine to drink and thoroughly enjoy now though. Score - 93.
