Just very good, not brilliant like the 2014 and the 2017. Very Dauvissat, with an intense beam of salty lime and freshly cut grass, then a soupcon of vanilla from the elevage. A touch of hyancinth on the nose with more air. Notably bitter and long on the finish, like taking a draft of undersweetened lemonade and then sucking on a pebble. Really enjoyed this, but a wine that (nowadays) costs this much needs to perform even better to offer reasonable QPR.

Medium yellow that still retains a glint of green. Some sulfur and lots of salty broth on the nose. Medium weight, savory, great acidity, and like licking a block of salt. I know that this will be a reach for many people, but between the sulfur and the salt, the primordial mix reminded me of the experience of visiting the Kilauea volcano caldera after an eruption as steam was still venting. At any rate, terrific and fresh.

Decanted for 1 hour. Iodine, lemon and some brothy vitamins on the nose. Deep but lively and savory palate, lemony fruit and good acidity

Superb tonight. A point. Great energy and notes of iodine, salty, yellow fruit, medium body. Pèrfect with sea urchin

Pale; oystershell, fresh as a daisy; saline, focused, penetrating, resonant; extended finish. Full of vigour, will drink well for a further decade.
