Spiced apple and toast on the nose. Big, broad fruit spreading horizontally on the palate. It's got decent acidity, but the fruit character seems a little more advanced than I would expect, and certainly by contrast to the very young showing '17 Mouchere opened alongside this. The color was also a tic towards gold. This was really enjoyable, but I'm glad I opened this bottle now before it started succumbing to premox in earnest.

amazing. pretty nose immed hits you with lemon, wet stones, reductive notes. The mouthful has such pretty lemon curd with terrific bracing acidity and racy minerality. Medium bodied with a very pretty long finish. Pretty much all i look for in a top notch Boillot white burg is found here IMHO. Big fan of Henri Boillot whites...
PNP. Tropical fruit, peach and some flint on the nose. Deep palate, ripe and pretty rich fruit, lacking a bit of acidity and cut. Lovely tonight but I doubt this will make old bones.

Magnum. Ripe and flashy fruit makes this quite delicious and approachable despite its youth. The fruit is so forward, it makes you wonder whether it's worth (or has the bones) for aging - which is a bit surprising for format/vintage.

Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Obelix - Chicago IL): From magnum. Very big and rich, this nearly had a New World character, but finishes with enough energy to retain its balance. Needs to to soften.
