Atherton Wine Imports, San Jose CA.

Ten years on.

Emerald.  Legs like gothic arches with the orange blossom stickiness of ’08.  The palate is an implosion of concentration, a volcanic fury expressed as stammering solidity.  Penetrating finish.  The deep has depth here.  From .21 h/a of Criots vine, situated between Roger Belland and Fontaine-Gagnard, the oldest from 1929.  Now – 2028.
