  Another bottle, and this one is singing. Classic bouquet of lemons (both fresh and cured) and drier, umami caraway seed. Bold on the palate foremost with great verve and zip, but followed by ample fruit and a layered mouthfeel. Fairly large bodied but balanced by the brightness; shows refinement despite the power. Right in the zone, smashing value. 92-93 pts.

  Aromas of lemon peel, flint and pear that are lathered in buttery caramel and lead to an oily textured, stone fruited palate that turns drying with a prolonged, saline, citrusy finish.

  I finished off my 2014s and moved on to this. Deep yellow color, good body, medium acidity. A somewhat riper and fleshier feel with more tropical fruit, reflecting the year. Good acidity and I hope I have the patience to wait on the other bottles. This wine is always an amazing QPR

  94+ Needs loads of air, better on day 2 (I guzzled most of it on day 1). Start of its window, no rush. Massive 35m of elevage, organic.
  
  N: Saline & citrus forward, an underbelly of clotted cream crust, buttered, caramelised apricots
  
  P: Preserved lemon, grippy lemon oil punch with a bitter phenolic edge. Concentrated with good, just ripe green apple & stone fruit - white peach, mellow apricot. Electrified with prickly, med+ acid, and maybe some oak tannin, framing well.
  
  F: Toast, acidic peach juice

  Good stuff, excellent dry extract and oily weight, shows a little oxidative note at first but by day two the bouquet freshened up nicely. Nice tangy acidity and good length, classic white Bourgogne profile if a bit subdued, has the umami/savory note I love in a Chardonnay.. I enjoy, quite a bit, but aside from the terrific depth, I’m not sure this deserves its premium over other Pouilly Fuisse (which to be fair is a gold mine of QPR French Chardonnay). Today, probably 91 pts, but who knows, mayhap these can improve with a few years horizontal.
