it doesn't show any oak or alcohol

lavender and sweet spice give the 2016 striking inner perfume

Strong wood and menthol characters bury the fruit at present

The refined yet tautly muscled flavors possess good detail and plenty of punch before culminating in a dusty and mouth coating finish of grand cru depth and persistence

lingering and mildly rustic finish where the only fault is a hint of warmth

Dome Vintage:2004 it doesn't show any oakTasted at the chteau, the 2006 Le Dme has retained an attractive bouquet with crushed violet and cold limestone scents percolating through the blackberry and boysenberry fruit. The palate is fresh on the entry with slightly coarse tannin, mulberry, red plum and Seville orange marmalade here, moderate depth with just a slightly abrupt, muscular finish. It has aged better than Les Asteries and I would be inclined to drink this over the next 5 7 years.
