Burgundy, France
Gorgeous, Meursault-like Bourgogne Chardonnay with sweet lime zest and flesh, a touch of butter and beautifully judged framing oak. With air the nose turns increasingly airy and mineral, with excellent clarity and purity. The palate is rich, ripe and unctuous, with an almost icing-on-cake texture, terrific density and chew, but enough freshness and salinity to keep everything lifted. Very sappy, very well constructed, with a long, mouthwatering mineral finish. 9.4 upside

The nose is very restrained, maybe needs more time so The first thing that stands out to me is the texture - as soon as it touches your lips you can tell that it's liquid silk.
Green pear, yellow apple and the distinct flavor of white fleshed guava. Strong minerality but can't quite pinpoint the origin.
Edit - poured another glass an hour later, stuck my nose in it and found some good earthy funk along and the start of the fruits developing
