 Tasted by french16 on 1/8/2023: Fantastic bottle! Super nose, very complex, spices, yellow and exotic fruits while elegant. Floral. Great acidity. Feels like a few grams of RS but the acidity gives the wine a great tension. (306 views)
 Tasted by JohnSh on 4/4/2015 & rated 91 points: Hazy notes from last night. It's a lovely golden yellow colour, and there was stone, honey and citrus on the nose. Dry on the medium bodied palate, with some petrol, pear, apricot and lime. Good intensity and a medium length finish. Very nice now, a well integrated, harmonious wine, but it should last several to many years yet (A-). (1696 views)
