This is excellent. Lemony and minerally. This has depth and persistence.

88 on night 1 and 92 on night 2. Such a massive improvement it blew my mind. Was much too harsh from the oak on night 1 but on night 2 opened up beautifully with tons of lemon curd and minerality. Given the oak Pillot uses, sometimes these bottles just need either time or air. Given the ripeness of the '18 vintage, I think these bottles are good to go now with a long decant or open the day before.
