I had a chance to retaste this side by side with its 2008 counterpart and the '07 matches the brilliant quality albeit in a
different style due to the vintage characteristics. As such, I am raising my rating slightly. An aggregator is how I would
describe this nose as the range of aromas and subtle nuances is genuinely amazing with a purity of expression that is
nothing short of riveting with the classic assertive mineral reduction character that suffuses the character of this wine
from the incredibly detailed nose to the wonderfully long, palate staining finish. The big, rich, powerful, detail and
superbly focused flavors are supported by a very firm acid backbone that confers a bone dry quality to the finish that
I could still taste hours later. In brief, at the moment this is more extract of Kimmeridgian stone than wine but it's
breathtakingly good. Don't miss it.
