Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - A new batch for me: 50% 2016, 50% 2015/2014; 65/35 PN/C; disgorged December 2019, zero dosage.

I very much enjoyed the previous incarnation based on the 2015 vintage, but for me this isn't quite up there.

On the nose, minerality in spades, plus just the tiniest hint of menthol. The palate is quite austere and direct - again saline and chalky minerality, some citrus bite, a hint of green apple, but really rather lacking in fruit or complexity. The finish is clean, drying and mineral.

Overall I feel that the zero dosage isn't helping here. It's still a decent wine, but not up to the previous batch.
