Stunning nose of super ripe exotic fruits and dried apricot of incredible complexity. Big, broad shouldered flavors with a silky, luscious, rather textured palate impression that offers dried apple, pear, stones and earth. The richness is hard to believe yet the wine remains in perfect balance with a persistence I could taste for the rest of the day. This vies with the 99 Coche-Dury Corton-Charlemagne, Sauzet Chevalier and Ramonet Montrachet for wine of the vintage honors.
