Tasting Notes

V92
Dried fruits, hazelnut and toasty oak on the nose, plus a whiff of caramelized banana. Powerful and tightly wound, with surprising acidity enlivening the flavors of peach, citrus peel, spices and minerals. This has terrific cut and persistence but will need a good six or seven years of cellaring. Martin Prieur compares this to the 2002 Combettes in aging potential and notes that this cuvee, from a large holding of 1.49 hectares, is becoming the estate`s calling card.
