December 27, 2020 - a bit mature for me but still a great bottle. got the minty eucalyptus nose. hey at least it's not oxidized as this is another risky producer of that

October 28, 2010 - My last bottle of this wine which is fine because it's on its last legs. Very tropical in its flavor profile with strong caramel and butterscotch flavors with the underlying acidity just hanging on for dear life. Not premox but just quite aged and a bit past its best for my palate. Perfectly stored since release.

August 8, 2010 - Grand Blanc at Aquarelle French Restaurant (Austin, Texas): A legendary wine which evolved effortlessly in the glass, you can drink this wine in chapters over an hour’s time. With a nose that may have lost some power over the years, it gains in the glass, is smooth, seamless, and elegant, with more nuance than the Marc Morey Batard we tasted alongside it. It was bright with a creamy texture which coated the back palate, and had flavor notes of almond extract, stoned fruit, baked peaches, yellow apple and bosc pear. Powerful and sexy, don’t wait.
