Dripping with golden honey, the 18 MdT is impressive. Ripened, concentrated, full of flavor. Initially kind of soft and plush, but with air, the acidity kind of peeks out. For an 18, it’s chiseled, but there are some marshmallow notes that work their way in with oxidation such that I do think this is an early drinking vintage. Delicious and worthy of a splurge.

Had a couple of small pours. Laser focused, but accessible, with a mix of white fruit and hints of golden chardonnay notes. Quite stone driven. narrow palate, but quite light and no hints of the warm vintage. Surprisingly persistent finish for such a ethereal mid-weight wine. Hard to put down.

Kräftiges Gelb. In der Nase mit subtilem, mineralischem Duftbild, Kreide, weisse Blüten, Zitrusfrüchte, Melisse, Tannenschössli, Akazienhonig, Sommerwiese, super komplex. Im Gaumen mit Druck und Schmelz, viel Kraft, top Eleganz, sehr salzig, feine Säure. Im Abgang ausgewogen und wunderbar lang, wow, grosses Chablis-Kino.

While it does have a greater shade of ripeness theres still good energy in it. So while there is depth and volume, it is no where near fat. I enjoyed this and will drink more of it.

A killer nose here, flinty and lemony, pop corn. Elegant palate, they managed the hot vintage well. Top drawer material.
