Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "As is often the case, the highly perfumed nose is the most floral-inflected of the range with its equally cool and restrained array of violet and rose petal scents that combine with an extraordinary group of spice elements on the essence of red currant aromas. The mouthfeel of the imposingly-scaled and powerful flavors is again robust yet refined with just as much minerality as the Richebourg adding even more lift to the almost painfully intense and extravagantly long finish that also just goes and goes."(98pts BH) Provenance: The Cellar of a Swiss Entrepreneur: We are delighted to welcome back this successful Swiss entrepreneur and friend of the house with one hundred twenty-seven nearly pristine lots, much of it in original packaging.
