The 1998 Liesse d’Harbonville from Ployez-Jacquemart has blossomed beautifully since
the last time I tasted it and is now showing great class on both the nose and palate. The pure and
utterly refined bouquet delivers a mélange of apple, pear, a touch of patissière, a complex base
of minerally soil tones, gentle smokiness, a touch of orange zest and a nice touch of fresh almond
in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very complex, with a rock
solid core, impeccable focus and balance, refined mousse, crisp acids and excellent length and
grip on the pure and racy finish. Great juice that still has decades of life ahead of it, but which
has really begun to drink brilliantly at age seventeen. 2015-2035.
