Hugely fruity nose. Ripe golden delicious apples and ripe pear. Maybe Bosc? Stunning saline and nimble minerals. You can really smell the Chardonnay and maybe that’s due to the warmth of the vintage. Oh my that is fine. So saline, incredible mousse and so elegant. Juicy and ripe and the brut nature character is almost invisible as the vintage was so ripe. Round, opulent and so graceful. Let’s see how it opens as there seems to be more under the surface. Not as focused as 16 or 17 but the sheer fruit intensity makes up for it. Outrageous concentration and explosiveness.
