February 24, 2024 - Deep, rich, flirting with over-the-top in its exotic fruit. A great wine with traditional french-y food.

February 20, 2024 - Flamboyantly good. With a decidedly small sample size (not even a dozen bottles) the spritely 2012 was inspiring in a field of terrific whites. Luxurious, nearly salacious, richness. A nose worth of Helen of Troy’s perfume collection. And a textural umami that wasn’t outclassed by 2004 or 1994 Chave Blanc. Truly gorgeous bottle. Wish I had more. 1105 pts.

July 22, 2022 - Perfectly balanced, elegant, weighty, and delicious. Pears and texture of stones.

October 25, 2021 - Golden yellow. Nose of beeswax, honey and toasted hazelnuts. In the mouth, it's unctuous, consistent flavors as on the nose but also banana, toasted brioche, lemon pith. Finish is long with hint of tongue numbing, as you get with dry botrytised wines.
