June and July were idyllic, but August was rainy. September saved the vintage thanks to cool mornings and sunny days that enabled ripening to continue until 2 October. As such, a late vintage. On the nose, there is a slight note of reduction as well as hints of rancio and gentle spices underlying the dominant aromas of flowers, fruit and honey, all combining to bring captivating complexity. The mid-palate has a lower density than the older vintages, but the purity and crystalline texture bring an overall impression of remarkable precision and cut. There is a slight oakiness, notably on the finish, that is more perceptible than usual with Salon. Should stay the distance until at least 2030.
