The nose here is rich and dense, with biscuit and mushroom elements. The big, layered palate displays apple and chalk notes, but is surprisingly soft, with a rather faint bead. There’s an element of sweetness some tasters found tacky and perfumey for a wine of this stature. Others, however, found it complex and exciting, with yeasty, toasty notes.
