"The 2004 les Clos from Vincent Dauvissat is now fully into its apogee of peak maturity, but still has several decades of prime drinking ahead of it. The bouquet is pure, complex and utterly classical in its composition of pear, lime, flinty minerality, candied citrus tones, dried flowers, a touch of vanillin oak, beeswax and a gently smoky top note. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and zesty, with lovely mid-palate depth, great cut and grip, impeccable balance and a very long, complex and vibrant finish. Great juice."
