  July 10, 2021 - white fruits, white flower, mineral, stone fruits, wet stone, little sesame. Long finish with medium+ flavor intensity. Finish is salty, like drinking water from the ocean. Good acidity but lack of complexity. It's not as powerful as a Montrachet.

  July 9, 2021 - Impressive ripeness control, kept getting broader throughout lunch. Peach, apricot, yellow fruit, great tone of minerality, oceanic salinity, sunny palate, lots of spices in between. Testament to the winemaking. 94-95

  April 28, 2012 - Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Started very musty and unbalanced, I feared it flawed, and while the mustiness went away, what remained was very lush, too-ripe fruit and plenty of new oak with a rich and buttery character. Big and intense, it really showed Grand Cru density to me, but i was shocked to see this as Montrachet, given its lack of finesse or elegance. I would not think this will get better with more time in cellar. Thanks to Doctor Tom for bringing, sad how it showed.

  October 16, 2010 - Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): **Open two weeks in cooler.**
  Super buttery cotton candy. Ripe and fatty. Super creamy and nut driven.
  Cantaloupe melon, lots of minerality - wet marble or granite.
  Really flinty and still some sulfuric action left in the bottle which was great.
  Amazing this was still going after that time open.

  July 26, 2010 - Open 30 mns before and decanted. Not unpleasant but not balanced. Very rich and alcoholic.
