Definitely tends towards the more tropical fruit notes like grilled pineapple but had great acidity and minerality. Excellent but couldn't hold up to a 2019 Sauzet Bievenues next to it.

$80+ Blind Tasting Old World (Bin 75 Alpharetta, GA): Affordable Batard in 2019 vintage?!, we must crack open a bottle for science!; bright steely yellow green; given 4 hours of air, at first this was very tropical and rich, the air tightened this up nicely, pretty oak, mineral, dusty limestone, noble, dough and pie crust, sweet citrus, some lemon curd; palate shows rich fruit but great mineral, was not expecting this level of mineral for young Batard; special and delicious.
