  March 8, 2023 - Tasted over 2 hrs
  -translucent med gold
  -beeswax lanolin feral smoky funk honey
  -med/med+ acidity adds lift to the finish, med/med- weight silky textured focused mineral honeyed but not sweet gently sappy lemon residue and moderately long finish with faint caramel oak
  -opens up nicely with air to reveal a beguiling fairly complex wine, no oxidation

  October 30, 2019 - I've now had 4 bottles of this wine - all of them stored at 55 degrees in my personal cellar.
  
  The first bottle was in October 2019 and the second sometime later in 2019. The first bottle was excellent - full-bodied and nutty. hints of honey and mineral. Really an excellent bottle.
  
  The second bottle was fine, but it was missing the high notes that the first had.
  
  I served the second and third this Labor Day 2020 for lunch with friends. Both bottles were a disaster. One was completely premoxed with the second tasting slightly premoxed but also a strong sulfer/reduction taste. We threw both bottles out.
  
  So . . . either these bottles are aging out OR I just got lucky on the premox with the first bottle OR I somehow damaged the bottles (but I doubt it). I would be very careful buying this wine and, if you have it, drink it up.

  October 8, 2019 - Showing signs of oxidation to the fruit, nutty. Advanced for its age despite excellent storage. Be careful

  May 24, 2015 - Stones, stone and citrus fruits, and a trace of honey/vanilla on the nose. Palate has enticingly creamy, weighty fruit on entry but becomes lighter with a sense of tension midpalate as the acidity and slight oak tannins weigh in. My only other LaFarge white has been the Aligote but this is in a whole different class (of course).
