Notes:

all done in two-year-old foudres): Good pale yellow. Very reduced, musky, complex aromas of silex, lime, fresh apricot, white nectarine, oyster shell and smoke; became more tangy as it opened in the glass. Big, ripe and rich; a large-scaled, voluptuous wine with terrific white peach intensity. Saline and dusty stone qualities give the finish terrific grip. Really rises inexorably and energizes the taste buds on the extremely long, tangy aftertaste. This wine is actually the highest in sugar of all of these 2014s at 1.8 grams per liter, but the balance here is nearly perfect. 92-95 Vinous/Steve Tanzer

Once again relatively generous wood stops just short of pushing the otherwise elegant, pure and wonderfully classic iodine, oyster shell, petrol and quinine aromas to the background. There is terrific intensity to the gorgeously textured, intense and beautifully well-detailed flavors that possess focused power while delivering excellent depth and length on the explosive finale. While this is carrying a bit more wood than I personally prefer there is no doubt that this should age effortlessly.  Burghound 94
