Nez et bouche avec du fruit blanc et jaune un peu, superbe vin, belle acidité, un peu salin, équilibré, en finesse, belle finale persistante et délicieuse. 92-93
Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. Gorgeous nose and palate, white fruit mostly and some yellow fruit, acidity is still there, saline even, nice finesse and a persistant and delicious finish.

Pale gold. Rather closed nose; some honey, anis, white flowers. Massive, oily mid-palate concentration of orchard fruits, progressively supplanted by a lemony, even spicy (almost the "ma" of numb-peppers), mouth-coating finish, and a very light butterscotch final touch. At 13.5°, I did find the alcohol a tad strong; but then maybe such was 2009, and the achieved balance, however unusual, is impressive. The bottle I had was not in the least advanced, but I could not quite tell and would be curious to know where from here the wine is headed.

Very good and typical for the appellation. Nothing sticks out.

Une dernière bouteille qui m'est parue légèrement oxydative. Le vin se buvait quand même bien, mais loin de la plénitude qu'il a offert dans le passé.
