The 2011 and 2012 vintages are close cousins

in the Masdeu zone above the Scala Dei Monastery (not in Torroja at all

detailed and admirably intense mineral-driven middle weight flavors that possess the same wonderfully fine-grained tannins as most of the wines in the range in 2010

The powerful finish is spicy and dusty with terrific intensity and ends on a note of velvet

Joseph Colin, Chassagne Montrachet Blanc other_regions_australia The 2011 and 2012 vintages(from Les Meix Goudard, Blanchots Dessous and En Journoblot). Here there is a whiff of the exotic with nectarine and lychee nut nuances adding breadth to the resin and rosemary oil aromas. There is once again good vibrancy and detail to the delicious and moderately powerful medium weight flavors that conclude in a frank and rustic finale that offers acceptable depth and persistence. The gas is noticeable so I suggest decanting this first. 88 2024+
