Tasting notes
Fresh, pale yellow. Sexy, subtly complex aromas of lime blossom and acacia flower. Suave on entry, then youthful and sharply delineated in the mid-palate, with harmonious acidity framing and extending the intense citrus and powdered stone flavors. A rather delicate young Clos with a saline aftertaste and no austerity.

Healthy pale yellow. Pungent aromas of oyster shell, flinty minerality, peppermint and citrus zest, with stone fruits in the background. Wonderfully sweet on entry, then sharpened in the middle by strong saline minerality. The intense yellow fruit and citrus flavors are tactile and elegant. Perhaps most impressive today on the slowly rising, fine-grained finish, which conveys a near-perfect combination of power and delicacy. A real iron fist in a velvet glove, this outstanding Clos is not at all austere today but will probably shut down in the bottle within the next couple years.
