Lost Friday afternoon gathering – Chave, Krug, Churchill, Trimbach, Mugnier and etc. (Black Salt, Washington DC): Incredibly rich yet focused nose displaying concentrated yellow fruit, lemon curd, pineapple, pine needle, honey, beeswax, spicy spices and limestone mineral. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of concentrated slightly coiled yellow fruit, dense and oily, also good precision, bright acidity, strong limestone mineral and an incredibly long sweet yellow fruit driven finish with beeswax and spicy spices at the end. This youthful concentrated yet precise wine is drinking beautifully. Excellent showing.

Corked - and very much so. Crying shame, as it appeared to be a beautiful wine in there, but TCA was overwhelming. No premox issues, for the record.

Mid-gold; complex nose; stone fruit, citrus, vanilla; mid-big body; fine fruit extract; tight at first; opens with air; long, rich, lush finish.

Stunning wine, tight, lemon/citrus oil. Needs time, roundness and opulence is coming, but tight and acidic, with supreme balance. Wow
