A mature but still attractively fresh nose features notes of honey suckle and softly exotic fruit hints that lead to relatively large-scaled, concentrated and almost creamy middle weight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the vibrant and seductive finale. This is not quite as complex as it usually is but it is wonderfully delicious and satisfying and overall I would describe this as an excellent villages that if well-stored should continue to drink well for another decade.
