Big bold nose - some oak. Lemon drops. Smoky. Just a bit of caramel. Super deep. A bit of butter (Sam says nuts and walnuts), a nice dollop of minerals or shells. Toasty and some buttered popcorn. Some more complexity and sweet fruit coming out with air. Palate is spectacular. Rich and big (more of a Batard), a touch of caramel, lemon and minerals. So luxurious. Good acid but also creamy. Lots of lemon. Long and wide tart finish. The whole package. I haven’t had a bottle from my stash in a long time and I’m glad I came back to this old friend.
