Neil Beckett | Always a favorite cuvée here (mostly from Aux Combottes, Les Hauts Doix, and Les Plantes), and this is no exception. Aromatically a little closed and reduced, but pretty underneath. A ravishing texture—"cashmere," Frédéric Drouhin enthuses with legitimate pride and good reason. Brilliant clarity of flavor and structure, but layered depth and a coating richness, too. | 92
