Tasting notes
(this began in 7% new oak, then spent seven months in two-year-old barrels) Pale bright yellow. Aromas of peach, minerals, menthol, marzipan and nut oil. Smooth, intensely flavored and nicely delineated, but still quite youthfully closed. Spicy peach flavor complicated by a touch of minerality. Quite tight and persistent on the back end. A bit inscrutable now but may well merit a higher score three or four years down the road.

(10% vinified in new oak, with part of the wine also aged in new oak) High-pitched and spicy but less exuberant today than the Mont de Milieu. Suave, lemony entry, then intense but imploded in the middle palate, withflavors of citrus peel, minerals, flowers and spices. Offers terrific sucrosity leavened by strong acids. Not at all dominated by the oak. The lemony finish features excellent cut. Offers impressive potential. This is Pinson's second largest holding, at 2.57 hectares.
