Nose smells rich, tiny bit of butter and so saline. Aromatics are savory and seductive. Some reductive aromas. Brown sugar and tree bark, Green apple flesh and skins. Palate is so explosive, with tree bark and an unreal finish. So so complex and such a balance between minerals and richness. Unreal finish. Best finish of all three. It’s so mouth-coating. There is a Meursault richness. So saline, sapid, grippy, almost has tannins. The skins are so thick on the grapes. What a finish. Mosaic nose is now all iodine and saline. Buttered brown sugar. So complex. Wet moss. Wow what a finish and mid palate. So juicy and extraordinary concentration and energy. Better than Pearlstad. This took a step back on day 2. Maybe closed. 9.8 to 9.6.
