The nose has less overt width, rather a really dense core of fruit – eventually becomes a little more
expressive with a faint brioche note. Clearly more concentration despite lower (13.5%) alcohol. Smooth
texture and much more minerality than the villages. The length again is quite savoury and mineral. Super
balance. Only ‘very fine’ versus the 2005’s ‘outstanding’, though the value clearly remains.
