2006 Pouilly Fume, Silex, Didier Dagueneau

This was the other standout wine of the day, obviously; plenty of ripe fruit, reflecting the vintage - sweet pink grapefruit, and lemon, with a touch of butter and a hint of marzipan(!) with fine, flinty minerality, and a very long, evolving finish.  Excellent body, structure and depth, but it is a little tight just now, even with the ripeness of the fruit, all the constituents are clearly defined, and the nose was a touch muted. No worry though, given a little time I am confident that this will turn into a very splendid wine indeed. (04/10)
