As big as this is

The old vines are very much in evidence as there is a true abundance of palate soaking dry extract that imparts a velvety mouth feel to the mid-palate and buffers the very firm tannins on the youthfully austere

candied violet and licorice scents reveal sharp detail and a touch of smokiness

most of which is young vines of 15+ years though there is a parcel approximating 15% of the total with ~40 years of age)

round and very generously proportioned

Philippe Pacalet, Meursault Blanc other_regions_italy As big as this is(from 5 different vineyards). Notes of matchstick and hazelnut add breadth to the mostly white orchard fruit and acacia blossom scented nose. The medium bodied flavors possess more evident minerality on the bone dry and youthfully austere finish that is presently a bit tough and attenuated. I suspect that this will flesh out and unwind with a few years of bottle age.
