Pale gold color. Small glass over 15 minutes. Crisp green, apple sweet tart, lean and minerally, yeasty. Quite good.

Light gold color. Small glass over 20 minutes. Crisp green apples, toasted, burnt sugar, florals, pear, cherry, tart. Very good 92+ to 93pts.

Very tiny taste in what was a second go at this in the last month. Similar experience. Tart, rather mineral driven, white citrus, ginger, spicy. 91pts.

Light gold color. Drank a glass over an hour. The nose is complex offering a mix of fumé, pear, fusil, tropical fruits, flowers, stone fruit and flinty stone. The palate blends a healthy amount of minerality with peach, lychee, stone, fusil, pear, and subtle spices on a medium frame. This was showing well with a nice balance, not overtly boisterous or showy, very nice maturing character.

Pale straw color. Small glass over an hour. Savvory, brine, peach, stone, pear; medium bodied, lots of river rock, stone fruit. Still solid. 91+pts.

Light gold color. Small glass over an hour. Same bottle as Gelweskj. Similar impression. Spicy, light tropical fruit, gravel, lemongrass and a somewhat bitter finish. 88-89pts.

Dark red plus slightly murky color with a 1cm transition. Splash double decanted. Drank a glass over 90 minutes. Funky, saddle, dried earth, dried herbs, cassis, black cherry. The palate adds spice, pepper, and garrigue to the dark cherry and cassis fruits. Still drinking really well for the first hour, then tailed off somewhat.

Very dark red color. Slow-O for an hour plus and then spash double decanted before the event. Oddly, I've never had the '98 vintage before. I loved the nose with its fresh garrigue up front; dillweed, scorched earth, leather, black cherry and kirsch. The palate is full bodied with dark fruits, black raspberry, cassis, scorched earth, garrigue, tar, and lots of gravelly minerality. Should last for another 5 yrears. 93+ to 94pts.

Very dark red color. Small glass over an hour plus. This kind of took awhile to come around. I was disappointed at first. Though every time I went back to it, it seemed to be a bit better. By an hour, I thought this was in a pretty good spot. Red fruit on the nose, shellac, dense and full boded, youthful for its age, dark fruit palate, more earth and leather notes come and a deeper sense of damp earth over time. I think this will improve further. 91+ to 92(+)pts.

Dark red color. Two hour decant. Drank a glass over an hour. Funky, brett, mushroom, spicy garrigue, horse leather, dark cherry, lacqueur, medium full bodied, classic Pegau. Not too much by any means, loved it. 93+ to 94pts.

Very dark red color. Unknown prep. Drank a small glass over an hour plus. Very floral, very green, medium bodied, but this really evolved over an hour so there's a lot more to come. Gut impression is 93pts as this evolved with maybe some upside as these age glacially.

Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Delicious, so savory, deep leather, Captain Crunch cereal, red syrup, strawberry, raspberry, bright and long. Loved it! 94(+)pts.

Very dark red/purple color. Small pour. Deep, bigger, rustic, blackberry liqueur, creosote.

Small tasting pour. Sawdust, melon, subtle tropical fruit, sour, astringent palate. I wasn't feeling this.

Small taste, this had some air, brief note - leafy, sauvage, dry earth, dry tannins, dark red fruits.

Very dark red color. Just a small taste. Nice; juicy aromatics, earthy, cloudy, wood spice, full bodoed, black cherry.

Small taste. Oxidative, lacquer, white melon, baked apple, dried apple, chalk. 89-90ts .

Small pour. This didn't hit me the way it usually does for some reason. VA, harsh, dried cherry, dried garrigue, saddle leather, spice, harsher finish. May have gotten better, but I didn't have enough to see. 90ish?

Very dark red/purple color. Small pour. Dark fruits, slightly herbal, young, leather, cassis, aromatic with hydrocarbons, and a mix of red berry jam on the nose. The nose is better than the palate now, deep and earthy, savory, red fruits, more medium plus in weight, but with really grippy tannins. Lots of potential here, and quite fun now. 93-94pts.
