Impossible to score, incipient aging noted a year ago has turned the nose of this bottle into something with a bit of old sock to it, while the palate itself is rich with layers of aged citrus and mineral. Note the sock is not like old wool....opened, and thought phew, maybe it will blow off--not-- let it sit a night, finally said, hmm drinkable just a bit bent.

What Short & Confused said in 2018--spot on--and concur about energy level (without prior comparison, but still...). Lots going on and incipient aging/tertiary flavors blend nicely with intrinsic qualities. The 2014 is great qpr.

As before "Light yellow. Orange blouson, chalk and wet stone. The wine is juicy and at the same time quite refined. Orange citrus, ginger and chalk with great acidity and almost silky creaminess on the palate. Overall complex and also seamless. This stuff is just so impressive." I like my last description. Score down a tad- a little less energy? Look forward to returning to this wine.

Un sauvignon blanc ligérien mitoyen entre la minéralité et la richesse - très bien.
