First of 12… Opened at 3:00 light yellow color, tight reticent nose, intense minerality and acidity added great tension. Clearly needed air so into a decanter served at 8:00. By dinner this opened up to show layers of bright white fruits with hints of citrus and a fuller rounder mid palate and lingering finish. This is an elegant baby with a very promising future

October is the new Parisian June (Frenchie Bar à Vins , Paris): Having recently tried the Clos de la Barre 2017 ( Papies 2017) this was not to be missed and indeed delivered in so many levels. Even though the temperature in the room was a bit too high still the wine performed to the next level. Elegant and polished mineral, good acidity albeit we were expecting a bit more focus. Has an effortless and elegant richness to it, super well assimilated oak just lingering on the background and just a feel to fall in love with. This is the proper one. 96 and with a bit more focus this would have been 100.

Needs 2-3 years. Great acidity. Needed 1 hour to open

During the La Paulée in Zurich, so no detailed tasting notes. Light, laser precise, lemon, flinty notes. Very good.
