Sans The 2010 Nairac displays precision and minerality on the fresh, vibrant, lifted nose, with hints of beeswax and honeysuckle. The palate has a very lively, zesty entry with good acidity and tension, the finish needing time to meld together, but vibrant and vigorous. This Nairac is not as immediate as the 2009, but it will offer immense pleasure by bottling and may warrant a higher mark.
