Alex G. Likes this wine:
November 2, 2019 - Honey dripped pear over a tight mineral spine with a cinnamon finish. Exceptional poise and precision, if served blind would have thought it much younger.

October 10, 2019 - Light gold. Sour reductive stink. High acidity palate. Drinks very young.

December 9, 2017 - Saturday lunch with Eddie (Masseria, DC): Absolutely gorgeous nose displaying sweet opulent ripe yellow fruit, peach and lemon curd, lanolin, a hint of petrol, oyster, vanilla, cedar, smoke, light honey and mineral. Excellent concentration, rich and oily yet airy and precise, low acidity which is typical of the vintage, medium mineral and a long rich opulent sweet yellow fruit driven finish. There is a hint of cedar/oak even after twenty some years which is not bothersome. Despite lacking acidity, it remains energetic, pure and precise which is truly remarkable. For my palate, this is richer than the Batard. This is why I love mature white Burgundy.

November 6, 2010 - "Open something that hurts club" Seattle Chapter get together (Morton's Steakhouse Seattle): The color of this wine was worrisome prior to even taking a smell of this. Not totally oxidized but, in present company, not one to linger on long. Too bad.
