"More on the anise side of things and distinctively different nice alcohol in the nose, intertwined with the anise-dominated profile has a stony soil aroma behind the anise, which borders on grapefruit skin very tasty, exotic flavors - sweet hazelnut and citrus rainbow flavors with a very fleshy quality up front and a very gritty quality down back tighter on the palate with a chalkier, more lemony attack still very young and on the way up atypical for the 1992 vintage, and if you told me one was 1992 and one was 1990 and they were served blind I would have guessed opposite of what they were fresher and crisper than the 1990 the anise mellows and caramel creeps in after a while it was here that a vintage discussion emerged, where Dominique said that he felt 1989-1995 were all drinking well, but not to touch those 1996s, nor the 1997s because they were tightening, 1998 yes, 1999 you can but better to wait he insisted that white wine can be drunk old (an not enough was), to which Jean-Pierre started ribbing him about his newly made Macon."
