Gorgeous wine. Nose of light oak, grilled pears, apple skins, minerals and lime zest. Also lime flesh. Lifting minerality is something else. One of the more unique noses out there. The Tressallier makes this crazy. Palate is rich and perfectly framed with wood and maybe has a tic less acid than 18 or 17 but the richness of the texture and length more than make up for that. Air will smooth this out and let the minerality become more expressive. Beguilingly fresh and such lovely balance and compactness.

Nose is psychotic. This controlled richness. Almost round in a perfect sphere way. Almost a hint of sherry without the oxidative notes. Hard to describe. It’s own category.
Nose is more l33t after 45 minutes. You get this high end burgundy complexity compete / complex / craziness.
Palate is elegantly delicious. Nice minerality. Juicy. Delicious. Elegant.
More meursaulty than the 18 which was better / more interesting. Still quite amazing.
As this opens it gets more “high class”. Decant for 30 and drink over 30.
Long finish.
