Charred nose – maybe slightly too much? Pretty severe. Lots of mass but even more acidity! Just a little too angular for once. (JR)
(tasted from cuve Pale, green-tinged yellow. Reduced, meaty aromas of lime, flowers, vanilla, spices, flint and truffle. Round and broad but with good firm acid spine. This, too, is a bit diffuse today and in need of more verve. Finishes with very good breadth and length. The wine's acids have not yet harmonized with the fruit.
