". . . a superbly complex and elegant nose of brioche, spice, mineral reduction, white flower and pure green fruit notes that also reveal seaweed and iodine nuances that lead to powerful and ultra intense flavors that are flat out explosive on the strikingly long finish. This really makes one salivate as the intensity is almost difficult to tolerate on the mouth coating, bone dry and harmonious finish. Impressive cellar potential here and this is a genuinely great Les Clos."
