Nice wine aged a few years. Nice deep color showing some honey like look. Nose and palate of peach, apricot, and some nice minerality. Paired well with some grilled game hens. I’d say three to five more years of good stuff with this.

Nice full fruit nose of apricot & melon. Soft yellow color w/soft legs. Flavor: Lovely frame of soft peaches w/nice round soft acidity finish. Refreshing wine that paired well w/brie & fig appetizer. Held up to Turkey Tetrazinni entree.

Faint nose. Hint of apricot and lemon, light fruit. No tropical fruits. Prominent minerality and alcohol. Longish finish. Same next day. Wife concurs. Our tasting is not comcordant with other notes. Maybe state liquor store kept at high temps too long.

12 Days of Christmas - 2018; 12/21/2018-1/1/2019 (NYC, Vermont, Lake Placid): Tasted double blind - Flight # 1 - Wine #2: Definitely seems like Sauv Blanc on the nose - with tropical fruit. Tastes of pineapple, grapefruit, lots of citrusy acidity, some minerals and a bit of heat from the alchohol on the finish. Very lean and bright. Quite a contrast after the rich Kistler in spot #1. 2nd place for the flight with the group voting 22 pennies.

BTG restaurant purchase. Clear, pale gold color. Mostly stone and tropical fruits with some vanilla and butter with a tinge of oak underneath. Medium body and alcohol. Medium acidity and medium finish. Better than average and I would try again.

Opened not decanted and served chilled. I had two corked bottles the other night after being on a wine hiatus (not from this producer: it was a village white burg and a CA white Rhone blend; nothing was entered into CT). It was not an auspicious beginning for drinking wine again. This is the first bottle I popped at home in awhile and it is a refreshing and pleasing experience. Clean, fresh entry of bright citrus with lemon and lemon peel notes; medium body in weight; good acidity; has depth to the citrus flavors with some dark notes; ends with a slightly sour finish. Good. Would definitely buy again without hesitation.

13.5% alcohol, Grand Vin de Bourgogne; Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons Ltd., New York City; plastic or composition cork, medium-weight foil; medium yellow, fast legs; nose of citrus, apples, apple peels, plums; fruit forward but only moderately so; tasted at ca 10 degrees C; a nicely balanced wine -- tannins/fruit; nothing unpleasant minerally in the background (as was the case in the wine I just tasted just previously, a 2014 Trimbach Pinot Gris, which the other raters on Cellar Tracker placed in the upper 80s or above); the 2015 Pouilly-Fuissé Marie Antoinette is an outstanding white Burgundy wine; tasting it, I was thinking of fried chicken and then of Chilean sea bass; pleasant finish, keeps well in fridge

Very nice nose upon opening of apricot w/light acidic profile. Good legs for a wine of this caliber. Flavor of light lemon with soft finish. Nice wine with Greek Chicken.

Aiolos Tasting (Intercontinental Hotel): Upfront oak but not aggressive, round, ripe stone fruit, the palate shows earthiness, vanilla, ripe stone fruit, some flint notes, round, easy, med finish. A wine to have by the glass

Great sample of an a well made oaky Chardonnay. You get the buttery vanilla up front and the fruitiness on the back. Great balance!

Frederic Wildman Luxury French Tasting (Swift & Sons, Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe apple to start. Simple, easy to enjoy. Faint bitter note on finish.

Bourgogne Chamber of Commerce Wine Tour (Cambria Hotel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Also ripe and lush styled, on the simpler side while fun. Not as good as the 2014.
