AM - An elegant, pure and attractively complex nose offers up notes of citrus, stone, seaweed and iodine. There is excellent volume and power to the punchy, intense and well-detailed medium-bodied flavours that exude a fine minerality on the solidly long finish that displays a hint of bitter lemon.

AM - As it was from cask last year this remains quite closed but aggressive swirling liberates ripe aromas of sea breeze, pear, lemon rind, oyster shell and mineral reduction plus an abundance of typical floral scents. The large-scaled flavours are overtly powerful and impressively concentrated as there is plenty of palate staining dry extract that also buffers the very firm acidity that supports and shapes the gorgeously precise finish. This explosively long effort possesses exquisite balance and the tightly wound flavours are going to need at least 5 to 7 years of bottle age to really flesh out and blossom. This is also a knock-out.

AM - A beautifully layered nose is comprised of mineral reduction, floral notes and citrus zest. The dense, powerful and impressively scaled medium-bodied flavours possess excellent intensity before culminating in a highly persistent and impeccably well-balanced finale. As is often the case at this address, the La Moutonne is the best wine in the range.
