  Darkish yellow in color. Quite a bit of evolution and really feels well secondary with oxidative notes ( not sure if it's light signs of premox here to be clear) and a few earthy touches. A bit bitter in the finish and felt well past its peak. Interesting wine though .Split the Papies on rating Andreas 88 - Nicol 91

  Deep golden color; Honeysuckle, ginger, and candied citrus. Full bodied with new oak, but not overly done in oak. Soft, supple finish. Drink up as this is at its prime.

  shared with pat at selkirk manor as a pre-vacation treat. i have finally found a white burgundy that i thoroughly enjoyed and can readily justify suspending my qpr rules by spending more than $50 to break the magical 90 point barrier. " how do i love thee, let me count the ways". this has everything that i look for in a wine. aroma, layered flavors of fruit and minerality, body, length, width, long finish. looking over tasting notes of others, the variety of descriptors is a testament to the complexity of this wine. my limited palate picks up apple, pear, honey and walnuts. waldorf salad without the lettuce. a great wine. this may be the only occasion that i score higher than the pros, perhaps due to benefits of additional time in bottle. i am also extending estimated longevity by one year based on this tasting. i now have a new adventure to discover other wines from this producer or this region that will offer as much pleasure as was afforded by this bottle.

  Dark in colour, golden. On th epalate it is round and big for its age. Good minerality but some offputting bitter notes on the end. A good wine but not a special one. 90-91, drink from now

  Second tasting - Color has gotten darker, deeper golden color. Lots of fruit flavors - Peach and ripe pear. Again, very viscous with great balance and acidity. Soft, long finish.
