Cuvée Les Equinces Bourgogne White Blend

Floral bouquet of gardenia, citrus blossom and tropical fruit. The palate is turned up to 11. Sumptuous texture, almost Semillon-like, with Buddha’s hand, meyer lemon, green walnut, vanilla, and cinchona essence. Very reminiscent of Lillet actually. Sweet oak tannin and a subtle sweetness making this drink so well already. For what this is not sure it gets any better!

Huh? Nothing like previous incarnations. Soupy, hot, undelineated chard. 14.5% ABV to boot. Drinkable, but qualitatively an order of magnitude lower than the 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, which were all stunning.
