Tasting Notes

A beautifully layered nose displays top notes of honeysuckle together with spiced pear, apple and smoky nuances. There is exceptional richness to the delicious, concentrated and punchy medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a notably dry but not really austere finish that delivers stunningly good length. This is a powerful Pucelles yet it remains a wine of grace. Sweet spot Outstanding

Score: 94

Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2028+ 15 June 2018

(this fruit was picked at 13.2% natural alcohol and finished at 13.5%; 4.5 g/l acidity with a pH of 3.17; always the highest in alcohol and acidity, owing in part to millerandage): Medium bright yellow. Fully ripe scents of stone and soft citrus fruits, hazelnut and spices, with a sexy musky note of nutty reduction. Suave on entry, then quite powerful, concentrated, salty and dry in the middle. Finishes penetrating and long, with some alcoholic warmth. This wine was demonstrably better on second taste and will benefit from several years of cellaring.

Score: 92 - 95
