"Here the nose is actually quite similar to that of the Bouches Chères if perhaps even slightly more floral in character. The caressing but powerful larger-scaled flavors possess a relatively sophisticated mouth feel while exhibiting more minerality than usual on the gorgeously complex and persistent finish. This is a classic Goutte d'Or of generosity and power that is shaped by firm acidity that should enable this beauty to age effortlessly." -Allen Meadows
