Sunday, July 18, 2021 - 2019 Droin 1er Crus side-by-side: Fourchaume, Montmains, Montée de Tonnerre.
The Fourchaume was the most powerful of the three Droins, with a punch of lemon and lime zest, lemon juice, lemon curd, smoke, a touch of guava, and salt rock. A good deal of drive here, with a powerful finish that rockets to the back of the throat (in a good way). Sealed with DIAM 10. Hold these for a few years to better integrate, but man, the intensity is something to admire. Great potential. 94+ points.
