  March 26, 2022 - Nearly four years after the prior: Earthy and, as anticipated, quite oxidative. Suggestions of savory chamomile and hay. Some astringency. As usual, this is not for everyone, but we found it enjoyable. (At Amélie, Fairfax, Ca.)

  May 25, 2018 - Ohne musik’s note is apt, but in retrospect, a bit generous in terms of the first night — when I found it to have all of the fine attributes he describes, but also a touch of bitterness and slight muddiness — compared to what I expected after three prior bottles. In retrospect, we should have opened this at least two nights before. On night three it came into its own, and stayed & indeed soared until the last drop was dribbled out on night six. By that time it had become rich and round, with at the same time trademark bracing backbone acidity. By night four, it could very easily have been confused blind as a beautifully balanced lighter styled vin jaune.

  May 20, 2018 - Dinner at Jake & Mo's: This is delicious as a baby vin jaune. Very approachable, with only a bit of nutty oxidative character with lots of fresh squeezed lemon, rocks, and lemon-rocks. Waxy texture and mouthwatering acidity; like the ’06 Gravonia, this needs time to integrate but so much personality here.

  May 13, 2018 - Exactly like IsaacjamesBakers tasting note, I would ad some smoked salmon in the nose. My first voyage to the Jura was in 1992 and I went to Pierre Overnoy then, he was back then knowed for readers of Revue de Vin de France and very accessible then. i remember that 1 bought 1 Savagnin sous voile a Trousseau, a Poulsard and 1 bottle of Vin Jaune 1983, all together 4 bottles for the poor student I was. Those bottles are still my references when I taste Jura.
  This is one of the best in the region and a perfect expression of classic Savagnin with 3 years sous voille. Bottle 5 of 6.
  92 for this expression

  April 13, 2018 - Medium gold color. Cool aromas of quinine, raw almond, oyster shell, seaweed, apricot jam. The palate boasts brisk acidity but a lot of depth. Apricot and lemon verbena mix with quinine, chalk dust, honeycomb elements. There are some herbal notes, and elements that remind me of surf wax and jetty rocks, but that's just me! Fun, nerdy, delicious stuff.
