A notably more citrus-inflected nose reflects notes of various white fleshed fruit and spice

Note that my projected range assumes that this will flesh out as it ages and as such this would not be an especially good candidate for early consumption

This is only the second release since 1973 from Block 3C of Penfolds’ Kalimna vineyard

(90-92)/2026+

This is all complexity and finesse - a very interesting Champagne

Lignier Michelot, Chambolle Musigny Vv other_regions A notably more citrus-inflected nose(from 50+ year old vines in Les Drazey and Gamaires). An overtly floral suffused nose reflects additional notes of pretty red and dark cherry, raspberry and spiced tea. Here too the middle weight flavors possess a lovely sense of verve while terminating in a chiseled, clean and youthfully austere finish that is very Chambollesque in character.
