Really nice. Lots of aromatics featuring fresh cut fruits, stones and dried flowers/leaves. Palate has both round fruit and crisp mineralic acidity, decent length. Only the golden hue gives away its age. Fabulous match to seared scallops over a green salad and potato gillette.

Crisp and delightful. Made in the French style. Mineral,apples , lemon. Last of the lot. Having with pizza I made. Does well to match the acidity of the sauce and balance of the fat of the cheese

Drinking quite well at this stage Still has similar characteristics to my prior evaluations. Lemon, touch of creme brulee/custard, baked apple, minerals, and not overly manipulated oak. Quite elegant; crisp. A long velvety finish. Pairs very nicely with butter fried Opah fish, with a lemon, miso and honey sauce.

Dinner party with friends. Similar to my notes of 1/8/11. Lightly toasted and well integrated oak, lemon, crème brulee/custard, minerals. Crisp and clean. Good acid. Nice finish.
