Tasted blind. Straw gold color. Looks young but the complex nose says it isn’t. Notes of citrus, apricot, gravel, some mint. Has that dirty nose that I connect Niellon to. Stunning power, structure and acidity in the mouth. I’m told this was open for 6 hrs already. Some conversation leads to Batard as the vineyard. Someone guesses Ramonet but I go with 86 Niellon Batard. Bam. An all time fav white for me, this was one of the best showings for it.

Sep 8th, 2019Deep gold color. Some funk in the nose but a powerful core of fruit overwhelms u. Notes of apricot, sweet fruit, toffee, mint in the nose. Very concentrated in the mouth. Big and beasty old white burg.
