Also remarkably pale. Immediately more brothy and iodine than than the ‘09 Blanchots. A notch lighter than that wine. Here a mixture of orchard fruits and more citrus with more finely etched acidity and a stony finish. Great equipoise between delicacy and power. Should last for another 20 years. Impressive expansion with air.

PNP, Akikos dinner. Wow is this drinking really well. Sea breeze, chalk and lemon on the nose. Rich, lemony palate, chalky and subtly textured with a fine grippy palate and lively fruit.

PNP at Kuki’o Reg Brown lunch. On point nose, lemon, iodine and some salty sea breeze. Complex palate, rich with a strong vein on chalky limestone and acid. Finishes rich and deep with a lemon rind essence.

Great vintage. Just entering its peak with still a lot of fruit showing. Wonderful texture.
