Review

It's elegant, austere and subtle, with a very long aftertaste, and the strength here is the mouthfeel. It's both powerful and ethereal, with stunning balance. They finally bottled it after the normal élevage, and the idea is to perhaps bottle it before was abandoned, as they realised what seemed like a more fragile vintage at first also benefitted from the élevage. 6,000 bottles produced." - 98pts, Robertparker.com
