Olivier’s tasting note January 2003: “The nose shows typical Rangen aromas : flintstone, peat, smokiness…which are also strongly influencing the palate. Quite unusually for this vineyard, it is already quite open, with intense exotic fruit at this early stage. I expect the mineral flinty character to overpower this wine in a few years. The structure is imposing on the palate, with significant sweetness. The balance will evolve with time towards a drier style.”
Olivier’s tasting note November 2021: “20 years later, the colour is still an intense fresh gold. The nose shows a great mineral and complex flinty intensity. This wine is ageing so well that it isn’t possible to detect the age on the nose. With time, the young exotic aromas have now almost disappeared for a greater influence of the volcanic soil, showing smoky aromas, roasted nuts… The palate is harmonious and finishes now drier on a salty/salivating mouthfeel. The acidity of the 2001 vintage is ripe and well present, giving a youthful structure and making this wine taste more like an indice 2 today (ie it only has a faint hint of sweetness now.) This wine should go extremely well with poultry, duck, pork… What a beautiful wine today!“
