Opened 1 hour in advance, but not decanted. Fresh, energetic and with a good texture. Medium+ acidity, great integrated. It delivers lemon, red grapefruit, chalk, a less pronounced floral tone (clearly present however) and a nice underlying seaside/salty touch embracing it all. Great balance and length. Still young and with the structure to last for quite a while, but it drinks so damn well already if given some air.
must say I don't personally agree with the high ratings on this wine. for me it lacks elegance and humbleness, it's aromatics are very strong in an unbalanced fashion imho, well structured palate, but overall tiering wine, after a glass I want to pass to something else that is not a good sign for me personally, but this is me
This bottle had everything I expected it to. Structure, concentration, minerality, creamy citric acidity, balance. Still youthful but highly appealing today.

As great as last year, rivaling the Grenouilles and Clos in 2019, this is the best vintage of Vaudesir to date. Perfect combination of body, energy, ripe lemon flavors, and outstanding persistence. Loving this now in its current state. Hold if you want, but I can’t find a good reason not to keep digging into these.

Old school, drinks well already, especially with some air.
