Lively - mineral, a bit of flint with smoked fruit, oyster shell and hint of fresh pear. Drinking so well right now, but has years ahead. One of the most memorable bottles of wine I've drank this year.

Mivvy Catchup: Spice, lemon, vanilla, nutty notes and a mineral edge under the fruit richness. Weighty and full bodied palate but also remains fresh and driven. Powerful and structured, this is a nice point to approach this wine.

Wines Tasted at HDH Auction: Rich apple aromas and flavors with some baked apple notes and corresponding spice. Starts out so rich and flavorful, then gets minerally with chiseled textures on long finish. So good now, best to enjoy through the next few years.

Wines tasted at HDH Celebration of Burg Auction - Day Two: Nose is a bit bashful some orchard fruit and florals. Good richness on the palate. Nice round concentrated orchard fruit, mineral, match stick with a hint of oak butterscotch.

Sensational ripe apple and floral aromas with lemon peel. Apple and pear flavors with peach and spice hints with great concentration throughout and a very long mineral-driven finish. Great now with upside.

Plenty of sulphur and a win e that is quite reductive. Spicy oak notes are prevalent but commensurate with the level of dense, sappy orchard fruits. It is compact and a little shy at the moment but has good texture and excellent length. The last glass had a pleasant mandarin aroma and flavour.

Fine, elegant, balanced and delicious. Not as powerful and perhaps a notch below the Batard but very good none the less. There’s a little wood spice on the nose along with white peach, minerals, lemons and white flowers. It is textured in the mouth with abundant yet relatively soft acid. It finishes with nice delineation and is long. Quite accessible now, this is a good thing as I’m drinking these things a lot earlier than I once may have.

Impressive, straight up. All one could want in a 2010 such power in balance. Flinty nose, rich mouthfeel, tension and length. Excellent

Divine, energetic with waves of complexity and sophistication. White fruit and iodine, slate, sweetness. Impressive
