Suggestion from October 23 2024
Wine: 2021 Pouilly-Fuissé "Clos Gaillards"
Producer: Domaine Thibert Père et Fils
Comment: Here the nose is still carrying vestiges of the malolactic fermentation. By contrast, there is very good freshness and verve to the intensely mineral-driven flavors manage to be at once generously proportioned yet well-delineated on the clean and very dry finale. Note that my initial projected drinking window is based on a normal sized bottle. In magnum, I would suggest 2033+.
Score: 91-93 Drink: 2027+
