Very pale yellow-gold. Very ripe and lower-pitched on the nose than the 2014, conveying a faint hint of evolution along with excellent vibrancy. Hugely concentrated and rather powerful for Montée de Tonnerre, with a texture of liquid silk. Comes across as a bit warmer than the '14 but its thick texture is nonetheless finer-grained than the '15. Aromas of pear, minerals, toast and vanilla are complicated by a touch of marzipan. There's an element of sweetness that may be from the wine's sheer size and palate feel but this wine is bone-dry. In fact, it's wonderfully classic considering its concentration and richness. The long finish can't match that of the 2014 for cut but then not many wines could. (13.03% alcohol; 3.2 pH; 3.96 g/l acidity; from a small crop of just 35 hectoliters per hectare)Stephen Tanzer1st August 2019
