Smells like an aged Raveneau, honey over minerality, still vibrant acidity, full-bodied w/nice richness, long, lingering finish, not quite as fine as the 1989 Chapelot 1er Cru I posted on recently, but darn good!!
A great President once asked, “Is our children learning?” You’ve gone from entering your notes 8 times to 2. So the answer to that timeless question is yes.”🤣💯
Young, fresh, still quite primary fruit in this younger 1er Cru Vaillons, some tart lemon acidity, some fine minerality, a floral note as well, medium-long finish, needs a little more aging (2-4 years?) for my palate, but very, very nice!!
Lovely honey and mineral aromas and flavors in this 20-year-old northern Rhone, solid acidity, rich and quite viscous, lingering finish, has held up very well!!
