Score: 91-93
Tasted: Jun 10, 2020
Drink: 2026+
Issue: 79
Producer note: For more general information about the 2018 vintage chez Faiveley, please see Issue 77 or the Burghound searchable database. (Frederick Wildman, www.frederickwildman.com, NY, USA; Altaya Wines, www.altayawines.com, Hong Kong; there are many sources in the UK, among them John Armit Wines, www.armit.co.uk, Berry Brothers & Rudd, www.bbr.com, Lea & Sandeman, www.leaandsandeman.co.uk, Howard Ripley, www.howardripley.com and Haynes, Hanson & Clark, www.hhandc.co.uk).
Tasting note: A pretty and attractively layered nose exhibits softly exotic notes of honeysuckle, white peach, petrol, rose petal and spiced pear. Once again there is excellent richness to the very round and plush flavors that possess a caressing mouthfeel while delivering fine length on the refined and classy finale. There is a hint of backend acid tang, but I suspect that it will round out relatively quickly.
