and mineral on the nose with lemon

This is not a wine I'd hold for further aging

with restrained tannins and no rough edges

Mild reduction suppresses the underlying fruit today

the 2001 is also incredibly elegant

Philippe Pacalet, Echezeaux other_regions_italy and mineral on the nose(from Clos St. Denis). An even more broad ranging nose features notes of exotic tea, sandalwood, plum, violet, anise and a whiff of hoisin. The highly seductive medium bodied flavors possess plenty of sappy dry extract that confers a velvety texture to the palate soaking, power and markedly firm finish. While this too is built to age, it should be accessible after 6 to 8 years of cellaring. (91 94) 2028+
