  Very nice, moderate weight, crisp with lingering touch of honey. A bit more wool, lemon/lime and floral notes as wine opened, to go with light stone fruit, apple, pear. Definitely improved with air time. Did not find pronounced acid core some note, but sufficient on its own and to complement dinner of sauteed sea scallops. Enjoyable.

  Rich orchard fruit aromas and flavors with some lemon curd notes, this is impressively rich, but seems like it is on the "demi-sec" side of a "sec" to me. Good now, but I am planning to give my remaining bottles more time in the cellar, with possible upside from here.

  Drinking very well. Similar to my note from July, unsurprisingly. Clear, delineated aromas and flavors are a delight. What really stood out to me this time was the long, mineral finish. Expressive now but still young.

  Coravin. Golden; aromatic, quince, honeyed; slightly off dry but as expected for "sec" Vouvray, medium-plus refreshing acidity, medium (13%) alcohol, lemon-lime, a bit of wet wool, a bit of quince; finish is medium length. Always distinctive, always a treat, and in this bottle showing quite youthful with a decade ahead of it. 92

  Expressive nose with waxy apple, pollen and almond. The modest residual sugar gives the palate some roundness, but it's not perceptibly sweet, and there's a zingy acidic core throughout. Drinking well, with some upside yet for further aging.
