Unfortunately I did not write down any notes and spent too much time sipping these wines and chatting with others. These wines are out of my regular price range so I am not the best judge of how they perform against similar priced white burgs. If I am used to drinking under $50 wines, you can imagine I thought these were all great.

Short on details, I was too busy tasting and talking. Appealing nose, lots of acid, dry. Good wine but I am cheap and can think of other regional white burgs that cost less and provide not the same enjoyment but close enough for me.

I did not take notes but loved the flavors here, the nose was subtle but the taste was excellent. I recall earth/rocks, honey, perfect amount of acid for it's age. I bet this will turn into a knockout in a few years.
