With Kathy at home at dinner (pasta Genovese). Still a youthful straw color. Nice nose still has that complex "toasty oak" character that reminds me so much of a fine old Chassagne Montrachet. The wine is toasty and full on the palate, with good acidity bringing all of the elements into balance. Long, lemony finish. I like this style. Much more lively than the last bottle--probably because this one came straight from Hess. 5-12-16-8: 91/100.

With MPL and BLR at the LWB. Good straw color. Bright, brilliant. Good legs. Nose shows the tastiness and complexity of a fine white Burgundy--like Chassagne-Montrachet. On the palate, very nice, though slightly disconcertingly light body, with layers of flavors. Yellow fruits. Long toasty finish. Drink now. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.

With K, Florence and Miranda at the winery. Fine straw color. Nose is just like a fine Chassagne-Montrachet. Excellent. Tremendous wine on the palate. Perfect balance, very fine flavors. Long and complex. One of the best white wines I've had. 5-13-17-9: 94/100.

With MPL and BLR at LWB. Light gold-straw color. Nose fresh, fruity with banana notes. Nice fruit on the palate. Good acidity and balance. Lengthy finish. Medium body. 5-10-14-6: 85/100.
