  12/6/2023 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 2 hrs
  -translucent light gold
  -gently fragrant floral melon peach grapefruit
  -delicate framework of med acidity, med- weight sappy subtle pear melon on bed of saline minerality, excellent length
  -beautifully elegant and another great showing for this brilliant vintage, not even a hint of maturity yet so this has a lot of life left

  8th bottle from a full case. Consumed with clams and linguine at AQS.
  Saline, lime zest, minerals and chalk. Very nice and refreshingly bright.
  Drink through 2027+.

  A Charity event plus two days of birthday celebration; a memorable three day weekend.; 10/13/2023-10/15/2023 (Samish Hill, Bellingham, WA): Served with Sumo-Kumo (larger, older kumomoto) oysters. Of course I liked it; it's Clos des Briords. That said, it's not my favorite vintage of this. More dense and round, heavier on the fruit and lighter on the mineral and limestone than typcially.

  -- popped and poured --
  -- tasted next to the 2019 vintage of the same over a few hours --
  
  NOSE: the '19 was brighter, and more Sauv. Blanc-esque, than the '17; minty fennel note here, as opposed to the fuzzy limey mineral note on the '19.
  
  BODY: light green-yellow color (tad darker on the '17, as expected); medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: medium+-to-high acidity on both; '17 is bassier than the '19; 12.0% alc. is well-hidden on both; preferred the brighter, zippier, '19, but both were quite enjoyable.
