Equally cool and more elegant aromas are comprised by notes of exotic jasmine tea, a range of floral elements and a whiff of mineral reduction. The almost painfully intense and stonier middleweight flavors aren’t as powerful, but they are clearly finer while delivering excellent length on the linear, balanced and moderately austere finale. This beauty will need at least a few years of keeping to develop more overall depth. 2029+ (from an incredible 2.7 ha holding which makes Bouchard the largest owner).
