(from Vergisson and will be a 1er as of the 2020 vintage). Here the wood is no longer subtle though neither is it invasive on the ultra-floral suffused aromas of cool pear, apple and spiced tea nuances. The dense, powerful and palate soaking flavors also possess a plenitude of dry extract that imparts a sappy texture to the impressively long finale. This isn’t especially refined but it doesn’t lack for character.
