Notes:

($44) Subtle, pure, scented nose combines stone fruits, crushed rock, spices and a touch of flinty minerality. Big and rich in the mouth but still a bit youthfully compact, conveying a dusty impression of extract from its strong underlying minerality. Finishes tactile and long.  Vinous/Steve Tanzer 90-92

This too is quite floral yet at the same time manages to be more elegant with its wafting nose of iodine, apple and oyster shell hints. There is terrific energy to the refined, detailed and saline-inflected medium-bodied flavors where an intense minerality adds lift to the clean and dry finish. This is arguably classier than the Fourchaume though not necessarily more complex or persistent.  Burghound 90-93 Sweet Spot
