The palate is generous, concentrated, and fruit‑forward, showing ripe pear, white peach, and subtle honeysuckle richness, exactly as described by Wine.com’s note on its weighty, clay‑driven profile. Bright acidity keeps the wine lifted, while the clay‑over‑Kimmeridgian soils contribute a round, juicy mid‑palate with more amplitude than the other Terroir bottlings. A faint thread of beeswax and soft mineral smoke adds depth, aligning with both Wine.com and CellarTracker impressions of concentration and smoky minerality. The finish is long, ripe, and quietly saline, shaped by the old‑vine 1937 plantings and the site’s natural power.
