Tasting notes
Ineffable citrus peel and lavender aromas complicated by saline minerality. Silky and ripe on entry, then tactile, chewy and extremely primary in the middle. Less smooth and sweet today than the Clos Saint-Marc but boasts superb lift and density to its peach, lavender and spice flavors. The very dry, austere finish saturates the palate with powdered stone. I actually prefer the Clos Saint-Marc right now but this will be great too.

High-pitched aromas of lemon verbena, lavender and powdered stone. Wonderfully fat and alive, offering a compelling balance of sweetness and vibrant crushed-stone minerality. This is a new barrel, but the oak has already been absorbed by the wine's sheer density. Very long and tactile on the piquant aftertaste.
