(Francois Chidaine Vouvray Bouchet) #1; COLOR-medium golden; NOSE-quite tight; more minerality; a little lemon peel; also some Crème Fraiche; a little almond shell; PALATE-this wine is complex; makes my mouth water; I love the acidity; this is food friendly and makes me want to eat; I love this peachy freshness coming through; beautiful guava and kiwi flavors that are singing on the mid-palate; this is SPECTACULAR wine; very flinty and chalky; GREAT structure; well made; seamless; long finish; juicy; creamy; delicate; powerful; this is SPECTACULAR; this is dry with so much fruit that there's a hint of sweetness; there's a beautiful honey component; it' thick; has great viscosity and mouthfeel; great balance; a nice citrus punch; almost like pineapple juice; this is world class; tastes like a rock wrapped in lemon peels with pineapple juice squeezed on top; Delightful and Delicious; love the minerality; love the fruit; love the tropical flavors and love the mouthfeel; DS-95; GV-93+

Hate to see the last bottle gone. Such a stellar QPR.

Light gold color; pineapple-y nose.
Residual sugar is present, but the wine has dried out considerably over the years. Lovely fruit, with some minerally-driven secondary notes. Excellent.

Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 is a very good wine.
A bit from memory, but the bottle was excellent. Great balance of acid and sweetness.
Much better than in 2014.
Did not read any TNs before drinking, so this is a "virgin" opinion.
My guess is that there is no reason to rush. I have two more.
