Medium gold color. Notes of stones and dirty rocks, lemon and citrus, a little mint. Very rich in the mouth. Powerful. Got better as the night went on. Was easy to pick the vigneron and vineyard but guessed this as the 93. So powerful and complex. When old Niellon is “on”, there is not much better of an experience.

Tasted blind, from two combined bottles. Yellow gold. Dirty lemon nose. Notes of lemon creme, wet stones, some dirt, some marzipan and vanilla, and a little honeysuckle. Rich in the mouth. Good structure with softened acidity. The unique nose of Niellon is easy to identify... Guessed 86 Batard. Great juice.
