Millet told me that this had been racked only 3 days before which had knocked the aromas down somewhat and indeed it was true as the nose was almost non-existent and even extended swirling could only coax glimpses of very ripe and ultra spicy red and black berry fruit notes. Happily, the flavors were another story as they were sweet, supple and utterly classy and while they presently lack the size and weight of the Bonnes Mares (which could also be from the constricting effect of the sulfur), it more than makes up for it in intensity as this just blows by on the finish with a superbly long and intensely precise finish that, like the Amoureuses, is crystalline in its purity and exactness. There is a rigorous element here that suggests this will require the better part of 15 years to be at its best but when it gets there, this is going to be a thrill ride. BH
