  Singing after a good decant.
  
  Mineral, citrus notes, some oak, later evolving to ripe apricot, dried nuts too.
  
  Well balanced, with great acidity.

  LLM blind tasting dinner. Generous nose with buttery elements, mineralic, lemon curd, I was guessing Meursault. Rich, creamy palate but not heavy, lighter than Californian Chards for example. Surprised to see that this was a white Rhone blend. Fabulous to make a fresh and mineralic wine like this in such a Southern location.

  Clear light yellow. There is reduction here but it is so beautiful, brine, wet rock, lemon and lime. Delicious briny citrus and intense minerality. Lovely dry lemon and green apple finish.

  still not understanding the critical scores. Must have been tasted before or immediately after release. This had an overwhelmingly strong smoky, charred oak set of aromas that permeated this wine. The fruit was OK, but still nothing to get excited about.
  
  It was disliked by 6 of the tasters, but will refrain from giving a score...
