This wine offers its best assets upfront and leaves less to chew on at the backend

Beyond the green gold hue and persistent mousse there is an impressive vanillin richness

the 2016 is even more reticent than it was last year at this time

2013 is a relatively powerful vintage for this normally restrained and cool wine and I particularly like the underlying tension as it invites another sip

rustic and built-to-age finish
