Needed some air to open up, light-footed, some flinty reduction, all components were very balanced, light but precise with tension, I really enjoyed this one as my first CD

Opened and decanted for dinner. Initially quite closed but with more air this wine opened up. Fabulous nose, but palate remained quite reticent. Overall great balance that marks a coche but certainly will benefit from further cellaring. Try again in 3 years at the 10 year mark.

We were excited to try one of the most coveted chardonnay producers in the world after a positive experience with the ‘14 BB in full bottle earlier in the year. This is a little more closed but still ravishing with green pineapple, lime, honeysuckle, and trademark flint on the finish and nose *if* not as pronounced as in the ‘14 at this point (my wife said “burning rubber”). 92+/100.

醒酒六个半小时,闻香有白花,柠檬,很淡的芝麻,入口酸度高,酒液咸,一点矿物感,口感柔滑,柠檬,青苹果,淡淡芝麻,还有明显白花香,后段是辛辣和微苦,余味偏短,很淡的白花带着一点芝麻。酒的状态比较平淡,名家大区的平均水准,一款谈不上惊艳的酒。看来在2016这个艰难的年份,即便是神仙也难显神奇。
