  Color is medium yellow with a straw rim. Slight sediment, but no signs of oxidation in terms of color. Hay, lime sherbert, white flowers, artisan olive oil, minerals and just the slightest whif of nuts on the nose. Palate is elegant and balanced. Mineral and almost ripe citrus in flavor. butter and acid are in a constant tug-of-war, and swishing in the mouth ramps up the intensity of both elements. The acid is intensely vibrant with out ever making me picker or cringe. The finish is very long, with citrus zest. Ridiculously compelling. My two bottles spent many years in a refrigerator (not a wine fridge, but an actual beverage refrigerator) before I purchased them. This could explain why my bottles seem so youthful and vibrant while so many other people are reporting premox.

  Sadly this was a little oxidized, but I managed to enjoy it anyway. Starting to show some darkening to a straw color. Nice gripping acidity with some slight spice. Touch of bitterness on the mid-palate. No longer a delicate or floral wine as it may once have been. Don't wait around to drink this if you still have some.

  La Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Vancouver) (Pied-á-Terre): My first pour was completely oxidized but I managed to find a good (non-oxidized) bottle of this and poured myself a small taste. Wow, what a difference. Fresh, citrus, floral and gravelly goodness jump from the glass. On the palate, focused yet generous with great acidity. Excellent.

  Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (Pied-â-Terre Bistro - Vancouver, BC): My first pour of this was heavily oxidized and undrinkable. Fortunately there was another bottle floating around the room which was in much better shape. Wonderful expressive aromas of crisp lemon juice, crushed slate, charred oak, pears, and floral lavender emanate from the glass. Even better on the palate, displaying plenty of lemon oil, toffee, crushed stones, burnt oak, some floral notes and a hint of ginger spice. A generous amount of acidity caps this off, followed by a long length finish ending on notes of charred oak and lemon juice. What a polarizing experience being able to taste these two variations of the same wine side by side. One thing is clear though, if you're lucky to open a bottle sans premox, it's a wonderful experience and is drinking very well right now. Fantastic
