My last bottle of this, as often, the best. This wine is about when older means wiser and not necessarily tired. Light pale golden color, aromas of Limestone and lemon zest. Lively acidity, baked lemon rind with some yeast and minerals, medium body with some texture probably from the sur lié. Hard to believe it is 8 years old.

Three years since my last one and it has only gotten better. A little more viscous and gold in color. The bouquet is unchanged and the palate might have a little less fruit to show, but the development of the body and texture more than makes up for it. I love this stuff. 5+11+16+8= 90

Lively acidity, crisp minerality with a faint oxidation which could be attributed to its age

Garagiste Selection
Color: Bright, clear, yellow with great legs!
Nose: Clean; medium intense with minerals and fruit; some tropical fruit notes and spicy nutmeg.
Body/flavor: Medium-full, wonderful mouth feel. Fresh fruit; very well-balanced with no loss of acidity.
Aftertaste: Short delicious finish.
Paired wonderfully with local artisan cheese and Serbian-style salami.
