November 14, 2020 - Rock candy nose, lemon curd fullness with brightness to keep in check. 10 years old and delicious.
October 13, 2016 - Had this with dinner y/day, left the remainder on the restaurant table as I didn't care for this wine. I'm a bit conflicted too about it, as the wine was all over the place to me. Reminded me some of Sancerre, with salinity and lemon. There is some light oak hanging around in the texture, which accents the fruit with some traces of vanilla. What though was weird was the aromatic and color. The wine seemed a bronzy to me, and the flavor a little nutty so I was thinking oxidization? Then, what seemed to appear a few times was some nail polish likes notes, something volatile. All this explains why I left the remains behind.
February 28, 2016 - Perhaps an off bottle, or perhaps I missed its drinking window, but this bottle didn't deliver much. Don't get me wrong, it was OK, but not up to the expectations set by the critics' reviews.
July 3, 2015 - PnP. Great balance of power and acidity. More proof that his whites are his best work. 14.1%
March 23, 2015 - Some oxidized notes on this, which clouded the palette. Still nice fruit and a good balance with acid, but I think I should have drank this sooner.
November 2, 2014 - Last bottle, very similar in taste and color to priors.
October 21, 2014 - Retains brisk acidity, in concert with a balanced and cohesive fruit chorus.
September 14, 2014 - WIML88
Tasted non blind.
Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of talc, pineapple and lemon. Flavors of lemon, green apple and lime. Medium acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink now.
June 12, 2014 - A nicely balanced wine, with apple and mineral, tropical fruits, and just a hint of oak. Very nice!
February 5, 2014 - This bottle showed really well. Almost Meursault like with rich apple fruit, some salinity and mineral and nice acidity to offset the fruit. When first opened there some creme brûlée and rice pudding on the finish but as it opened that faded some leaving wet stone/rain on pavement on a hot summer day and some cream. Ann said the wine was interesting and she liked it. Later: this wine improves as it opens and starts to show some lime citrus and some stone fruit. It loses more of the cream which is a good thing for me. Very good.
