Like the Bonnes Mares this is sufficiently reduced to render a thorough evaluation of the nose impossible though notes of wood and menthol are detectable. There is an ultra-sophisticated mouth feel to the intensely mineral-driven melt-in-your-mouth broad-shouldered flavors that possess excellent detail and power on the focused, intense, serious and very serious finish. As seductive as this is now it should amply reward long-term cellaring.
