(from Les Bondues). In contrast to the expressiveness of the prior wines this is backward and brooding and only grudgingly displays notes of petrol, white flowers and discreet wood. By contrast there is plenty of energy to the bright and delicious medium weight flavors that possess both good richness and delineation while delivering fine length on the moderately complex finale. Note that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that more depth is in the offing with a few years of bottle age.
