A lot of botrytis notes now, with a destiny profile. A little clumsy but with a great core. Definitely powerful

My favourite of the Joly's. Vertical tasting alongside the 2009, 2010 and 2013. High acid but with hints of camomile and honey.

Dark, golden color. Toasted almonds or hazelnut along with melon on the nose. Crisp fruit. Stone, herbal tea flavor. Finishes with acidity, almost like an orange peel. No new oak. Very interesting wine. Complex and full of flavor.

2012. New hands in the Joly facility now produce wines a bit more classic in style.
