Super nose – more open and floral – perhaps still a little tight so not much width, but there is real depth here. Lovely texture – really fills the mouth with a wide impression – but will need some time in the cellar to build complexity as it’s a very linear and mineral expression, super length, super wine. This wine saw 20% (old) barrel fermentation, the aim is not to introduce oak flavour, rather to find an ‘extra dimension’.
This wine saw 15% barrel fermentation. The widest nose here, but doesn’t match the impressive depth of the ‘Blanchots’ – quite ripe in complexion. Despite the extra ripeness to the fruit on the nose, it is certainly the most mineral impression of any of these wines. Despite this, there is a rich texture to wine, etching the flavour into the palate – very deep stony fruit. The Blanchots is a the more steely, this has the most impact. A worthy addition to any cellar.
Medium-plus yellow. The nose is waxy and smooth. The concentrated palate gives quite a dense showing – there’s lot’s of material here – good acidity and nice length. For me this wine is in that area where I wouldn’t drink – old enough to have lost it’s youthful zest and still too young for serious complexity.
