April 23, 2022 - not blind
Bought 2013 at the winery. Golden colour, for me too alcoholic even it is declared with 13% alc. Reminds me more to a new world chardy bardy than an elegant Burgundy. Too much oak aromas, still not perfectly integrated. I expected a bit more finesse. Not wait too long. 89 -

March 14, 2020 - Still a very good wine in its driking window. Golden colour, grilled lemon and butterscotch. Good acidity, full bodied, some green notes, citrus with a bit too much oak. Almost balanced, but slightly oak dominated.

January 13, 2018 - Everything was just perfect here - the wine is giving you a lot of oak - but so well integrated - you get the butter and the honey - you get vanilla which matches the fatness of the wine - medium acidity - and such a nice balance - there fore well deserved 92 - I had a great experience drinking this with lobster.
