On the nose the wine offers some ripe apples and even some crispy pear notes. On the palate the wine has a very oily, silky consistency. Nice bright acids and ripe apples, very sublte citrus and honey, even some white pepper. Oakiness starts to come through as the wine opens up more. Overall, this wine is super elegant and generous. Excellent drinking experience with many layers and nuances. Should keep well for another few years... if you can keep yourself from opening a bottle.

Light to Medium golden color. Honey, oak, lime, licorice, almond. Subtle touch of reductive scent. Medium to thick body. Impressive fruity and rounded palate. Very balanced texture and finish.

Beautiful lemon-lime zest and luscious yellow pear notes work well with white pumice minerality aptly framing the gorgeous fruit. Medium-to-full bodied and balanced, with a saturated mouthfeel that speaks of top-shelf Meursault. Consistent tension throughout its expansion of flavor.
My last bottle. Drink now and over the next 3+ years. 95-96 points.

A little more filled-out since my having this last year, with ripe and zesty yellow citrus and limestone flavors making for both a mouthwatering and classic experience. A wine that can certainly be enjoyed now, but I’ll try to hold my remaining bottle for another year or so.

Fantastico. Vino straordinario nei contrasti e nella persistenza con un naso complesso e di grande espressione aromatica. I profumi di tiglio e caprifoglio si fondono con la golosità della frutta “polposa” bianca per chiudersi in un ricordo di mandorla di grande eleganza

Yellow citrus, lemon and lime zest, yellow pear skin, white stone fruit, quince, pumice, limestone, cardamom, and a hint of white pepper and acacia. Speeds through the mid-palate and whips ahead on a direct course to the rear. Slightly pithy on the finish, but it doesn't clip it at all; in fact, the tail goes on for over a minute. The back end is where it is most noteworthy, gaining even more speed with gorgeous acid and grip, pumping primary but flavorful yellow citrus, spice, and floral notes that rush back in for another stab at it. The lingering white pepper note dances on the tip on the tongue.
A wine to hold to be sure, but certainly not a total party-foul to open now. I really loved the drive here. 95-96++ points for now. Try again in a couple of years.
