Fresh orange blossom, a hint of bourbon vanilla, fresh apricot, a hint of grapefruit zest, floral, incredibly multi-faceted fragrance. Juicy and elegant with a creamy texture, ripe pineapple and yellow peach, finely integrated wood nuances, light caramel in the finish, has good freshness. The last vintage to date that has this richness, because the level of residual sugar in 2009 is so extraordinary; great length, certain ageing potential for decades, if not centuries. Already accessible today, but has not yet reached its full aromatic level (+50). Opulence meets structure - simply a great wine.
