2015 base! Always a treat and particularly delicious with some age!

I remember the days when Maillons BdN could be found btg! That ship has certainly sailed and the UC band wagon is officially full, but rightfully so. 2015 base with 60% reserve wines from 2014 and 3/19 disgorgement is ripping tonight, and simply complete with a seamless combination of freshness and oxidative complexity with layered aromatics of rich yellow orchard fruit, wildflower honey and toasted almonds. The palate is electric, particularly so for the warm vintage, with racy acids, textural elegance, killer concentration and multidimensional depth of fruit which give way to a long, vibrant and mineral inflicted finale. The wines of Olivier Collin are hard to beat.
