PnP. Pale metallic yellow, fine mousse. Distinct and focused bouquet, mature notes, apples, citrus and more. Same goes for the palate, h+A, m-B, some dosage but it is balanced well by the acidity, long elegant finish. Drink now-onwards. Really high quality
Showing maturity now. Nutty, brioche, lemon curd, apricot Palate maintains remarkable acidity and freshness, lemon and brioche dominant, and minerality strong - even saltwater notes. But the mix manages to create a certain creaminess, too. Long finish. A very serious, high quality low dosage vintage bottle - and really amazing at price point.

I enjoyed both bottles of this very much, I see many other tasters commenting on too much acid, but I didn't get that; I drank this bottle with sushi and it was lovely; certainly has some brioche and almond paste, then bright citrus and green apple/pear, the acid is definitely there but for me it just makes it a wine with lovely tension and nervosite. I would buy more of this if I could
From glass. Heavy, un-budging nose of roast nuts, sawdust, baked wood, nutty bread crust, etc. On palate, as others have noted, shockingly acid. Borderline lemonade; "toasty white grapefruit," any nuttiness from the nose surviving only as a suggestion long after swallowing. I didn't hate this, but it will be too tart for many.
