  September 13, 2014 - Un bon blanc assez riche. Il a bien été décrit dans les commentaires précédents, mais j'ajouterais des notes boisées assez présentes qui viennent enrichir le nez et la bouche.
  Un peu court tout de même.

  February 19, 2012 - Venturi'd into the decanter and then decanted 45 minutes prior to serving. Now I enjoy elegance and subtlety in my wines, but this wine needs an amplifier. I even let the wine warm up to just slightly chilled and the flavors and finish are still muted. The folks at the Wine House SF were big on this one, don't know why; they must be trying to get rid of it. Not sure I'm even going to finish this bottle as life is too short and there are other wines in the house. $24 not well spent.
