  Tasted at the Chateau. A lovely complex wine!
  Medium lemon
  Pronounced intensity with aromas/flavors of blossom, meadow flowers, green apples, lemon peel, grape, grass, green leaf, spices and a touch of vanilla, honey & some dried green fruit. Great complexity
  On the palate the wine is dry with high acidity, medium alcohol and body. The intensity in pronounced and the quality is outstanding and can drink now potential for aging.

  Impressive and damn serious wine.
  Nose dominated by the SB. Blackcurrant leaf dominated initially, then showed preserved peach, stone, cedar, citrus peel.
  Bright acidity and a full body, though never overwhelming. Leaves your tongue feeling dry, almost sandy. Wood, stone, grapefruit om the palate. Long finish.
  An outstanding wine, albeit a little stern now. Will age beautifully.

  97+ wow. The nose is powerful, gorgeous, and intense with a dense core of highly extracted stewed peach, smoke, orchid blossoms, and vanilla, with a brooding baby’s diaper funk that is beautiful in its integration, staying in the background where it belongs but nonetheless adding a funky interest to a wine erupting with the freshest fruit and flower smells and pretty Tahitian vanilla lended by gentile oak treatment.
  
  The palate is ridiculously juicy and fresh with acidity beckoning pink grapefruit and blood peach juice, with all of the primary aromas showing as it glides across the tongue, leaving enough of a coating to finish long but gracefully, but the one-two punch of the smell and taste will have you sticking your nose right back into the glass and then taking another sip.
  
  Polished, nuanced, and balanced so well it’s astonishing because so many of the components are so powerful and gripping. A masterpiece. Halibut with clam fumet, bacon, and fines herbes, broccolini, chestnut mushrooms, and fingerling potatoes. A natural with fish and shellfish, why not go all out?

  Very strong nose of peach, honeysuckle and lemoncurd; medium body, the palate is delicate and with less acidity than I was expecting. Round and balanced, it's an elegant wine. It's drinking well now.
