I have better success with his Croix du Roy. However, this was drinking well starting to develop creamier notes on the palette then previous bottles. This still has sharp mineral notes and acidity. I prefer 2008 over the current releases which are too "fat" for me. The nose was textbook with nice flint notes.

Nondescript (straw?) nose, tart green apple palate that has a green streak to it, vegetal, leading to a acidic finish. Some age might tone down the brightness, but im not sure about the green streak. Overall not bad, food is required.

Refreshing, clean, rather simplistic and shallow.

Very acidic, long grassy finish on it's own. Needs food or some time.
