@ Frevo NYC. Hard to tell this is 21 years old - fairly young and fresh-tasting. Mostly apricots and tree fruits up front with the signature lilac florals only coming out an hour in. Very refined, smooth with a big whiff of Smokey undernotes. That said, lacking some energy and a bit thin/short on the finish. Probably waited a bit too long on this one.

Beautiful. Subtle and a bit shy for a grand cru. Complex, very mineral wine, with just a whiff of those white flowers you get in Blanchot. This is in perfect spot. Nothing overdone.

Golden hay-coloured which bleached out with air contact. Tiny hint of oxidation that dissipated after 20 minutes. Saline, shell-like minerality, lemon tart, with ripe quince and pears. Acidity perceptible but well integrated. Poise and balance. A refined and seductive beauty in its apogee. Riedel Sommeliers Fishbowl stem.

Slightly tipped over the edge and losing energy.

Fresh, forward and well defined bottle. Nice combination of fruit and rocky notes.
