Vertical of 2014/2015/2017. 2014 was muted upfront. White flower, green apple, and high acidity. Tasty stuff.
2015 showed a touch of reduction. Sour apple, lime, and some sweet tropical notes. slight bitterness on the finish.
2017 was perhaps an off bottle. No obviously identifiable fault, but it showed some fruit, with super high acid, and an oaky bitterness on finish. Just didn't feel right.

Lovely Aligote. Others have described this well already. Perfect balance, good fruit, very good acidity; nothing overwhelmed. I think it had a tiny bit of sweetness that helped it stand up very well to a lunch with mutter paneer and fried eggplants. It was very good on its own too. The cheeses I had handy (Gouda and Manchego) didn't make for inspired pairing here.

Deep straw; wet sandstone, citrus, with a dash of salinity; dry, ravishing racy acidity provides true tension; verve on an exciting finish.
