Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable today though there is by contrast a lovely sense of freshness and vibrancy to the sleek, intense and refined medium-bodied flavors that also brim with an almost aggressive minerality that also suffuses the driving, clean and quite dry finish. This is really quite classy and offer just a bit more overall depth than the Perrières.
