Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 13
(a 50/50 blend of vines from Pernand and Aloxe, with both parcels picked the same day): Pale green-tinged yellow. Pungent aromas of lemon, lime, apple, crushed stone, nutmeg and medicinal herbs. Wonderfully intense, backward wine with almost painful penetration to its pineapple and crushed stone flavors. Finishes with uncanny aromatic persistence for the vintage. Structured for a graceful evolution in bottle. I wouldn't go near this for at least five or six years.
