Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

a superb mix of diesel oil (yes, I like that), citrus, old books and smoke. So fresh! Sea water, marzipan, freshly crushed nuts, wet grass, lamp petrol… The fruits strike back: tangerine, orange zest… It’s endless

restaurant Palate

great attack on freshly squeezed oranges, tangerine, white pepper, pink grapefruit. It then gets very mineral (wet stones, riesling). Really superb, so clean and pure. Lots of elegance… And lots of nostalgia. This, is a ‘legend’… 95 points . By the way, I’d like to insist on the fact that buying some very old bottles for drinking based on some simple tasting notes by others, can be very tricky, as two old bottles from the very same batch can taste completely different after twenty, thirty or forty years of 'glass maturing'.
