  April 17, 2022 - Beautiful. Popped and poured. Initially a bit musty but that blew off quickly. The first ten minutes it still shows tight but then opens up to pretty tropical aromas of pineapple, guava, lime, and lemon pith backed by notes of vanilla custard and a touch of chalk and limestone steeliness. The attack is big with tons of tropical fruit and shows med plus acidity. There's some salinity on the long finish. Two bottles with consistent notes. I don't have any experience with these upper tiered Bordeaux blancs so I can't recommend a window for when this should be peaking. That said, I imagine this seems a bit young and would wait another year to pop another.

  July 30, 2021 - One of the better whites that I have had recently. Very rich yellow coloring and full-flavored. Candied apple, peaches, pie, crème brulee, flowers, and a little puckered candy.

  March 29, 2020 - For $150 this does the job no different than a Carbonnieux or a Haut Bergey sadly. Aromatic, and fragrant- reminiscent of grapefruits and some wet scarecrow weirdness. Flavour-wise it is acidic, simple, plain. The goat cheese made it taste better.
