Montrachet 1996 75cl

Medium straw colour. Incredibly complex nose displaying an exciting array of fruit, grain, nut and mineral notes: warm apricots, oatmeal, hazelnuts and chalk dust. After 30 mins in the glass the aromas keep coming including candied ginger, dried persimmon and butterscotch. The crisp, minerally palate is other-worldly, paradoxically elegant and powerful. Medium to full body, exquisitely balanced and lots of layers of fruit and nut flavours to disseminate on the very, very long finish. Oh-so-nearly perfect?maybe in a few years? Drink now to 2018+. Tasted November 2008.
