  August 6, 2023 - Salty, electric, biting lime, and so much minerality you'd think there's dissolved schist in the glass. This wine is as much about texture and impact as flavor. The second it hits your tongue, you know that the experience is focused on the terroir, and the winemaking is focused on showcasing every last bit of it. At this age, there's loquat, lime zest, ginger, there's grip like I've only experienced on monumental Haut Brion blancs, and there's zippy acid. On top of what's tart and minerally, there's a complication of age, but it's not the oxidized note of a sherry yet. It's the forerunner to that kind of age -- the nuttiness of a green almond is peaking through. I see that I'm scoring this higher than most. So be it. This wine was better than most. A special wine that makes me think, when I see the 91s and 92s below, lots of y'all are missing something. Damn. Bow down to Thibaud.

A little viscosity to give tension, but under the weight of the acid it falters. A bridge too far to be great but if you don’t love acid i would avoid but if you love super high acid wines even if they are a bit out of balance then this is for you

  Light to medium yellow in color. Nose shows citrus and crushed rocks. On the palate lots of citrus, white flowers, more crushed rock/mineral components. What really stood out to me were the acids...which I loved. Drinking very nicely.

  February 12, 2022 - Oh my god! Eucalyptus, Mint and green apple nose. Citrusy acidity in the mouth. Beautiful and can probably age many years more
