A disappointment

Eighty percent of the wine spent a year in new oak barrels

Otherwise there is good freshness and vibrancy to the concentrated big-bodied flavors that possess a discreet stony quality that carries over to the beautifully long

Here too there are hints of menthol and wood framing the ripe and fresh dark berry fruit liqueur-like nose where additional nuances of spice and rose petal are present

I imagine the 2005 still has another decade of fine drinking to offer

Jacques Carillon, Puligny Montrachet Referts other_regions_australia A disappointment(45+ year old vines). A broad ranging array offers up notes of acacia blossom, orange pekoe tea, pear and white peach scents. There is both excellent power but also excellent delineation to the energetic and lightly mineral inflected flavors that possess a highly seductive mouth feel before culminating in a wonderfully persistent, highly complex and perfectly well balanced finale. This is very classy stuff that should age well yet be approachable
