  Rich golden color. Smells like candles, clean bedsheets, hazelnuts. Seems simultaneously oxidized and fresh. Dense and heavy, not oily, and with enough salty minerality to keep lively. Finishes with some golden delicious apple and white tea. Weird and wild stuff!

  Man, this stuff is just banging right now. Medium bod, yet it fells bigger. Mouth-coating. Minerals and cool, crisp white fruit. Really nice balance between a rich, sweeter fruit and a wiry, cool edge. Terrific right now.

  Drank at WWS Loire tasting. Nose a bit on the shy side. Medium bodied, apricot, some honey, and lots of slate and minerality. Round with nice mouthfeel. A bit on the hot side. I liked this wine, though it did not jump out at me as anything extraordinary.
