  Drinks like a good mature 1er white burg. Very nice.

  This is fine and just that. It's a complete wine. Good balance. Holding up well and all. It's just not as interesting as you would hope nine years in. A touch reduced. Some paraffin and citronella on the nose. Generous acidity behind some richer leaning citrus flavors. It's doesn't much of that more rich character you typically get with Savagnin. Gets a bit dilute towards the finish. Acid freaks will spin it into something more but it's a nice midweek dinner companion but not a lot more. Good.

  Another outstanding bottle, perhaps even better than the last. Such a strong character without being overdone in any way. Love the aromatics, the floral elements, the minerals and the intensity on the tongue. Easily consumed on its own, but also good with food. As these have only gotten better for us, I'd speculate a drinking window for future vintages starting at at least 5 years. I've tried the '13s and '14s and so far neither is showing anything like as well as the '12.

  Drunk with Kunik cheese for lunch. As good a bottle of this wine as I have had. One recently made me think it might be on the decline, but this was vibrant and rich and mature. Great energy. There's so much going on, with just a tiny hint of oxidation. Very aromatic, nice round mouth feel with plenty of acid. Did I mention energy?

  Har utviklet seg flott, drikker bra nå. Gule frukter, hint av nøtter, flott munnfølelse.
