"(just assembled in cuve and not yet fined) Tangy aromas of orange peel, wet stone and spices. Wonderfully intense and concentrated wine, with a penetrating flavor of crushed stones and minerals. Large-scaled, broad and solid, with great palate coverage and grand cru class. This has a completely different texture from the 2002s that preceded it in my tasting. Finishes with outstanding dusty minerality and great length."
