(from Ez Folatières near Truffières). A vague whiff of exotic fruit is present on the mostly white orchard fruit aromas that are trimmed in perceptible if still reasonably subtle wood influence. There is again excellent density to the more mineral-driven medium weight flavors that are at once powerful yet refined before culminating in a clean, dry and impeccably well-balanced finale. This too displays lovely depth and persistence in a package that should reward up to a decade of keeping.
