This edition of the reserve bottling, which has presumably spent five years en tirage, shows far less richness than in previous years. Tight and green, it is more like a young blanc de blancs, at least at the moment, with flavors of grapefruit and citrus. Yeasty and still scented with SO2 from bottling, it barely suggests the delicious flavors of roasted nuts and vanilla that may yet develop. Wait and see.
