    February 10, 2023 - A small gathering at Bryan's (Undisclosed location in McLean, VA): Ex La Tour D’Argent bottling. Surprise by the beautiful light golden color. Initially a bit fat and subdue nose. With air, expressive nose displaying ripe sweet yellow fruit with a hint of white, lemon, lemon curd, apple, lanoline, coconut, a hint of butterscotch, vanilla/oak, sweet spices and mineral. Excellent concentration, layers upon layers of rich sweet yellow fruit, oily and rich, but also good balance, medium acidity, strong mineral, and a long rich ripe yellow fruit driven finish with vanilla and lanoline at the end. This actually has aged correctly and is drinking well.

    October 15, 2021 - Small vertical, non blind... Not as good as one would expect from this appellation and producer, rather short follow through but still nice acidity and fruit component.

    April 2, 2016 - Glorious white burg here. Young, dense yet seamless and regal, with strong notes of vanilla and quince. Close to a perfect chardonnay bouquet for my mileage, fruity without heaviness, great acidic spine, long and delicious. 93-94 pts.
