Wow age has really made this special! Huge confectionery nose of apricots, peaches and cotton candy, apricot skin as well. Outrageous and expressive! Superb layered minerals. Palate is luscious and mineral with super high acids and lovely lean fruit. So complete and compact. Showing so well. Terrific mid palate drive and purity. Great showing!

lean and mineral with razor sharp edges and wonderful high tones bitter citrus notes and dazzling purity. Juicy, complex with grand cru cut and complexity. Amazing 15 acidity and super complex and dense. Thunderous.

One of my favorite 15's. Apples on the nose. Spices and minerals as well. A bit cold so aromas are a bit mute. Palate is just as I remembered. So elegant and pithy with loads of minerals and such nice depth. Terrific mineral finish and so fine and refined. So happy with this.

Minerals galore. Vineyard peach, apricot, dark clay aromas, also tangelo and blood orange. Big, impressive palate, with huge expansive flavors that fan out in every direction on the palate. Very pure and long. So effin' complex and beautiful ripeness. Amazing mouthfeel. So complex. So sick. This is a great wine. Amazing intensity.

Nose is lovely minerals.

Palate is very juicy. Green apple tons of minerals.

Says trocken but a kiss of sweetness on the finish.

Great with food.

A Very nice Tuesday wine.

This is a “lametta” (sharp knife). Maybe I didn’t enjoyed it in its best moment.
Could probably improve a lot with air or ageing
