"(80% chardonnay and 20% pinot noir; aged for 53 months on its lees and disgorged in December of 2011; this was tasted from a magnum): Light, bright gold. Smoky, intensely perfumed aromas of pear, toasted bread, sweet butter, honeysuckle and dusty minerals. At once rich and energetic, offering palate-staining orchard fruit flavors and enlivening lemon zest and ginger flourishes. The smoky note repeats on the finish, which shows outstanding clarity, energy and length." Vinous, Nov 2013 |
