November 27, 2018 - Nose was creamy and nutty with some oxidation there but mostly just old white burg that’s just past its prime. Mouthfeel was still going strong though. Oak and texture with enough weight. Acid was clearly finishing though so drink em if you got em.

February 5, 2013 - Deep yellow color. Notes of lemon, butterscotch and wool with an oaky overtone. Rich texture with lemon, wool, mineral and oak flavors. Nice finish. Carries the oak quite well I think. 92-93 pts.

February 5, 2013 - Opened by Allred at Adelle's with CWM and steve8. Lovely nose of citrus, honey and vanilla. Very surprised by the hit of oak on the palate, but it subsided over the course of the evening. Lemon oil and mineral with nice acidity. Probably my favorite white of the night.

December 26, 2012 - Maybe I got lucky with this bottle. Smelled like buttered popcorn on opening, but with a little time I detected no premox, no flabbiness...just a lovely, soft bottle of spice, vanilla, and a touch of oak and minerals. Give me 10 more of these, but alas, I'm out. Love this. Merry Christmas to me!

March 3, 2012 - This wine was fabulous with lanolin, lavendar, allspice on the nose and more of the same on the palate, very complete, rich, balanced, and elegant, better than the Murtray because of its age, subtle, charming, finesse on the palate and a lon, beautiful finsih. Bravo!

4/1/2009 (link)(Girardin Vincent Corton-Charlemagne) Deeper yellow. The nose is dense and more obviously displays ripe fruit. In the mouth it’s well textured, even slightly oily, and suddenly widens to great effect in the mid-palate. A perfect wine for sipping alone - it just needs a little extra acidity to lift it to the next level - but finishes well.
