{Generously poured by SE on 6.23, sent us home with the balance of the bottle tasted on 6.24 with LT, BW and JL} One of the best 2013 Grand Cru whites I've had. Just a step behind the 2014 Gambal Batard and honestly more open after a day. Great balance, a medium-weight Batard built on purity of fruit and palate length rather than size. Probably at peak now. Would serve this close to room temperature and after an half hour of air. In the flight of 2013, 14, 15 poured by SE the 2013 is my second favorite after the 2014.
Very limited experience with the Gambals but they seem to be better rated after 5-7 years in the bottle!

Flickinger Customer Appreciation Tasting (Casino Club - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Nicely floral and very pretty. Good weight, moderate complexity. Perhaps just borderline Grand Cru density, but certainly very tasty.
