R.D.

Super concentrated and charged with power, yet somehow graceful - properly aristocratic stuff. Crisp orchard fruit, orange peel, and lemongrass meet freshly baked bread, subtle fino sherry notes, wet stones, and macadamia with marzipan. Medium to full-bodied, with a deep fruit core animated by racy acids and refined pinpoint mousse. Bone-dry finish. Still bursting with youthful energy, which is mad for the age, but maybe not so mad for this vintage. Look, it's brilliantly made - harmonious, complex, compelling. But honestly? Not quite my style. Wouldn't want a whole bottle solo. Still have to respect the craft here though. Damn well executed.
