La Grande Dame 1995

Full yellow. Rich fruit, honeycomb, twist of orange peel. All of this, though, in a relatively discreet aromatic profile which has to be teased from the glass. On the palate, lots of firm, dry orchard fruit, vinous, with a mineral note, too. Straightforward; lacks elegance and finesse. It does the job then goes home.
