Once again the nose is super-fresh with its aromas of mostly ripe white orchard fruit that is laced with phenolic, spice and floral hints along with an admirably subtle dollop of wood. The strikingly textured, vibrant and utterly delicious flavors possess the usual Clavoillon generosity while exhibiting excellent length on the balanced, dry and mildly austere finale that is just a bit firmer. This too could use better depth so again, at least a few years of keeping are advised.
