This was spot on last night. Just a beautiful wine from a riper vintage. The wine was in perfect balance. The fruit had weight but no overt heaviness on the palate. Great acidity and minerality here. Paired perfectly with dover sole with almonds and brown butter with capers at Restaurant Michael in Winnetka (best classic french restaurant in Chicagoland).

Nice memento from our trip to France a couple of years ago that is drinking nicely now - a little honey/apricot tinge to the color profile gives the wine a little extra character out of the bottle but it was more delicate in weight and flavor than its appearance. Enjoyable way to start a wine evening and a good example of the quality delivered by this producer.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #053; Expensive and 93+ Parker Points (By BS & JH): Still a bit locked. Needs some air to show the citrus and a little vanilla in the bouquet, but then it is quite expressive. Fairly full bodied with a firm amount of citrus and some pineapple on the palate. Also some oak and bitterness from it in the finish. Needs a few more years to open up completely.

Nice balance between mellowness and acidity. Will certainly last awhile. Really outstanding now. Don't know if it can get better from here.

Great delicate texture, bright with elderflower and floral tones and honey. A bit short on finish.
