Description
(from a .53 ha parcel planted in 1962 and matured in one third older oak and two-thirds stainless). Here there is a citrus confit character to the more floral-suffused aromas of oyster shell, quinine and brine. There is very good volume to the sappy and powerful larger-scaled flavors that terminate in a lemony, austere and highly persistent finish that displays evident power and salinity if only average depth. This is promising but patience will be needed. I would add that this is not so structured that it couldn’t be approached after only a few years of cellaring.
