This also possesses an expressive nose that is both slightly more elegant and more complex with its pretty array of pure citrus, acacia blossom, apple, pear and exotic tea scents. There is excellent volume but also a satisfying underlying tension to the medium-bodied flavors that retain a lovely sense of detail on the refined, sappy and impeccably well-balanced finale. This beauty of a La Romanée will need a few years to further develop depth, but the underlying material appears to be more than adequate to do so. Strongly worth considering.
