Our first bottle of the 2018 vintage ( after having the excellent 2016 and 2017 more than a dozen times , Papies 93-94) this albeit young but so were the others when we tried them felt a bit sub par a bit lower in intensity and energy. Good wine still and was polished quickly but not at the level of earlier vintages. Not sure if it was the bottle or not but for us this was at best 91 vs 93-94 of previous vintages

Very linear and direct, but quite succulent. Light nose with Paloma and slight fleshiness. Bright acidity and mineral. Good structure and cut. Solid finish that tapered nicely. Did extremely well, but never exceeded.
