March 20, 2021 - Tasted blind, this wine had a deep yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose generated lime, wax, apple, and smokey notes.
In the mouth, this wine was medium bodied with light, fine grained acidity, excellent balance, and very good length.
This really developed well and appears like it will last another 10 years or so. Drink over this time-frame. Impressive!1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 14, 2017 - Verticale de Dagueneau au Petit Resto. Léger nez de bouchon, un débat à savoir si c'était bouchonné entre les participants, j'étais du côté du bouchon.

September 14, 2017 - Verticale du Domaine Didier Dagueneau (Au Petit Resto): Le vin montrait une très belle attaque en bouche, mais qui se terminait en une rebutante finale liégeuse. Quel dommage!
Le diagnostic "bouchon" a encore soulevé la discussion, l'emportant tout juste à 6 contre 5! -

March 30, 2014 - 2013 editon of En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 3/26/2014-4/1/2014 (Mostly in Bordeaux and a night in Paris): The first bottle was corked and the second bottle also was not quite up to the level of the bottle from last year.

April 7, 2013 - 2012 En Primeur - Kelly and Kevin’s excellent adventure; 4/4/2013-4/9/2013 (Bordeaux, France): This is the first bottle of mature Silex of my life. First nose, I was speechless. Extremely fresh complex nose of steel, mint, sweet spices, anise and lemon. Beautiful energetic palate with exceptional concentration and minerality. It is fat but still remains precise. One of those special wines that combines subtlety, precision, complexity and core energy. This special experience is very similar to drinking a great mature yet fresh bottle of Clos Ste Hune or Coulee de Serrant.
