Vinous
Pale yellow. Peach syrup, honey and clove oil on the superripe nose. Fat, sweet and large-scaled, with bracing acidity to buffer its almost oily texture. With its chewy impression of solidity, this sappy wine is going to require at least several years of bottle aging to approach peak drinkability. Wonderfully invigorating on the finish: I love the balance of sweetness and acidity on display here. As these vines age (most were planted in the 1960s but some date back to the ’30s), this wine has been gaining in acidity, notes Fontaine.
