En magnum. After the painfully mineral 13' Vaillons from Raveneau, this just didn't find much love from the group. It wasn't lacking in anyway though. In fact, as JT puts it, this had grand cru concentration and length. The wine begs for air, which we promptly gave it, but it never really opened even after a day of exposure. Oddly, it went from muted (nose) to slightly oxidised across that period. Expected? In spite of this, there's much to love about the wine - Round and generous body with plenty of acidity. Citrus fruit, lanolin, spiced nuts, and chalky minerality. Undeniably length.
