Holy hell. Acidity off the charts, lemon, green apple, spring meadow, sea salt, marzipan. This could age forever on its acidity but absolutely irresistible now. I killed half the bottle without even thinking about it while cooking.

God this is goose. Wide open. Layered nose of grilled nuts and almost a Rieslingesque minerality. So deep and airy. Ridiculous power and concentration yet light as a feather. Complex and so juicy. Seems so easy to drink but is deceptively complex.

Insane out of the gates. Grand Cru burgundy mineral complexity. Floral. Killer structure. Dense and long. Best Saumur? Day 2 update --- even crazier nose on day 2. Candied lemons, hay, menthol breeze and so much more. Palate is immensely concentrated with laser like precision. There is a gentle hugeness to this wine and the balance is extraordinary. The intense kaleidoscope of minerality on the finish is a treat. Stunning wine.
