Written Notes

It was an easy harvest with only 5 "tries" in the vineyard. Grapes picked were simply of so heavenly quality, that almost everything went into Grand Vin. Pale yellow.

This wine showed an enormous sweetness, which was perfectly supported by fresh acidity. Its incredible richness, extremely sophisticated style and impressive length completed this beauty. When tasted in April 2011, it had a significant and catchy aroma of almonds both on the nose and palate.
