Winemaker Notes: 

"‘Lelarge and in charge’ is the name of the game in this monolith of a wine. Made only in the best vintages, the wine has achieved a richness of texture that can be achieved only by patience. A careful selection of grapes from 50 year old vines is vinified with the utmost care before spending over 9 years on the lees for aging. The result is an elegant but powerful wine that blends steely minerality with hints of flowers, white and yellow fruits, and toast. "
