95 WS / 93 BH
A spicy version and opulent, boasting buttered brioche, vanilla, peach, mineral and citronella flavors. Its creamy texture and harmony belie its complexity, but the finish is long and satisfying. Best from 2021 through 2029. - B.S., Wine Spectator
Tasting note: Whiffs of mineral reduction and spiced tea sit atop to the cool and pure aromas of lemon rind, apple and white flowers. There is excellent punch and ample minerality to the beautifully well-detailed flavors that possess outstanding energy that carries over to the compact and tightly wound finish. This is really good stuff that should drink well after only 5 or so years of cellaring but reward extended keeping. Allen Meadows - Burghound
