Wow. Whopping chablisien fruit out of the gate. So mineral. Explosively.

The nose was. 9.5+. The palate was delicious but not as complex. If the palate catches up to the nose over time this will be a show stopper.

In any case a decline wine.

The nose was insane. The palate was delicious but lacked in complexity to be truly great. I’ll check in again in 2 years.
