The First Christmas of New England @ Christmas WIMPS (La Trompette, London W4): En magnum. Colour just lighter than straw yellow. Slightly closed nose. Classy tannins and texture with an interplay between white and yellow fruits. Seems to lack the intensity I was expecting from a top C-M 1er cru in an excellent vintage.

Had this again and it progressed really well. Wonderful nose of match stick, lime, minerals. Excellent fruit core on the palate. I now start to see hwo the 2014s are slowly starting to pass the 2015 which were attractive with more baby fat but the 2014 are indeed the full package with precision and deep aromas.

Painfully intense and pure liquid.

Plenty of tension and nervosité. Pure minerality. Exceptionally enjoyable.

Attractive, still a lot of lemonish acidity but moving into its drinking window.
