Fleurie Chapelle des Bois 2010

Almond extract, rowan, freesia, and dark berries and stone fruits shadowed by their distilled counterparts combine for a penetratingly high-toned and hauntingly complex aroma. The texture here has turned positively silky and this essence from centenarian vines finishes not just with the “pristine purity of fruit ... complex depth of flavor (and) vibratory intensity”.

A soaring sense of buoyancy and a kaleidoscopic interaction of floral, fruit, and mineral nuances.
