Tasting Notes
The faintest hint of salty maple syrup plays along with a hint of candlewax. At the same time, there is a pristine touch of greengage and fresh lemon zest. The palate intensifies that utter saltiness and hints at incredible depth. There is muscle and the electrifying, energising, life-giving and immortal acidity of 1996. This is like tapping into the very veins of Champagne and its very lifeblood. This is for adults only, razor-sharp, incisive, uncompromising and completely authentic. What a wine.
