PnP. Dark straw > light gold; bright, lively color. Initial aromas are superb, with ripe orchard fruits, together with some citrus, mango, and honey notes. While the nose's initial intensity declines, modestly, with each pour, the body, and complexity of tastes increases along the same timeline. Elegant, mature, and, for my palate, definitely at prime time, this should show similarly well for five + years to come. I've got one bottle left that I'll be sure to drink in the coming 2-3 years; hopefully with good friends. Easily recommended, and still quite excellent with food.

Medium gold color; citrus flowers, Asian pear, apricot and orange marmalade on nose with green character from green tea to fresh green veg; enchantingly spicy and energetic palate; brilliant complexity on this. Consistently reliable producer.

Very pale yellow color. Great, fruity nose. Slight effervescence. Typical mineral flavor profile: stone fruit, mango, etc. Touch of green vegetal quality.

Consumed on Dec.; no notes kept. Dense with fruit, acidity; a waxy taste that i really liked. Remained lively over a couple of nights.

Aromatic nose of flowers, herbs, melon, honey. Enters the palate with meidum+ body, good mineralic finish. Stays fresh. Very solid quality. 93+
