(from vines situated in En Orveaux planted in 1923, 1947, 1964 and 1979 totaling .56 ha). Firm reduction pushes the fruit to the background though there is both superb intensity and power to the super-sleek larger-bodied flavors that are supported by dense but fine-grained tannins that shape the compact, youthfully austere and hugely long finale. This is exceptionally backward and like several of the wines in the range, a wine that’s going to need extended keeping if you wish to see it at its peak. In a word, terrific.
