An elegant, pure and ripe nose features notes of spice, mint and honeysuckle while introducing relatively big, rich, intense, sappy, delicious and wonderfully complex flavors that are still quite fresh and sweet while completely coating and staining the palate. There is excellent precision with lovely finishing intensity and about the only aspect that one might wish for more is the persistence but otherwise, this is is a classic Bienvenues. This could easily be enjoyed now or cellared for another 2 to 4 years first. Note that another recent bottle was slightly advanced, probably due to a touch of premature oxidation.
