A classy version, showing precision balance to the integration of ripe black currant, apricot, golden raisin, slivered almond, toast and smoke notes with a fresh, firm frame of acidity and chalky minerality. There’s a lovely viscosity to the creamy mousse, a textural echo on the lasting finish. Disgorged June 2023. Drink now through 2040. —A.N.
