Very pale, 'petite millisieme' style. Fungal nose, mushroom stalks. Red apple too. Some richness is there but the acidity is pretty crucifying. This will, presumably, live for many decades but I’m not sure the flavours will ever really integrate into a beautiful expression. Somewhat coarse and the sour note on the end is is a bit of an oblique flavour.

Moulin Touchais: A retrospective tasing conducted by Frederik Wilbrenninck and Richard Kelley MW; 6/26/2018-6/27/2018 (The Institute of Masters of Wine, London SW11): Frederik Wilbrennick: 'I don’t taste this vintage very often, it tends to be forgotten about but it has a classic balance between sweetness and acidity.' Around 10% botrytis in this harvest.
