Complete description
Vintage Description:
The nose has yeastiness and suppleness but is essentially shy. A rounded flow fills the palate with an essential smoothness that brims with creaminess and channeled by ripe pear fruit. Savory salinity teases from deep within the wine and wants to come to the fore, but it needs time to emerge. This is very fluid and very smooth but has lovely contour and definition. (Anne Krebiehl MW - Vinous, November 2023)wine:
