(1999) Glowing golden colour, tinged green. Big, charry, high-toast French oak nose. Loaded with coffee-bean, burnt toast and liquorice. There is a buttery richness and beneath the oak, fine pear and peach fruit. On the palate quite tight and surprisingly restrained by keen apple and lemon acidity. The texture is full-bodied and creamy, there is a weight of buttery fruit and notes of nuts and spice, but all checked by the acidity. Well balanced, quite long. Decent Meursault.
