93 ST.
"Pale, green-tinged color. Musky aromas of vineyard peach, quinine, ginger, snap pea, petrol and wet stone, with hints of exotic fruits. Large-scaled and rich but very unevolved. An impressively expansive wine with strong, soil-inflected flavors of lemon, lime and powdered stone. Finishes with terrific persistence. This has grand cru palate presence and complexity. "The best Montée de Tonnerre we've made to date," notes Hervet." Vinous, Jul 2004 |
