  This benefitted from 45 min in the glass. This is still a somewhat large wine with very nice depth and breadth. No doubt new world with an abundant amount of citrus up front. Well balanced with a long finish. This is certainly in its prime and should continue to drink well for another 3-5 years.

  Drank a month ago using Coravin and then finished the bottle tonight. Initial taste was highly acidic and tightly wound. Dare I say next time, decant!!! Tonight it was marvelous and expressing itself.

  Some wines are born to be paired with the right food. I found a match made in heaven with this Aubert Ritchie Vineyard and a filet of Sea Bass cooked over charcoal and Pecan wood.
  
  The wine is slightly cloudy medium yellow/gold, with a bouquet of apple Asian pear, white flowers and creamy citrus notes. On the palate there's tropical fruits, floral and citrus notes on a beautifully structured frame. The mouth feel is the real winner here with wonderful viscosity and the right balance of brightness and a medium finish. Again, it paired magnificently with the Sea Bass. The Pecan wood notes from the fish went perfectly with this wine.
  
  On its own I probably wouldn't have scored it this high, but the pairing elevated the wine and food.

  Very good, but not as special as most from this producer.
