March 3, 2024 - Wow! Awesome bottle/wine! Lovely gold color. Butter, minerals, Meyer lemons, camomile, and melons on the nose. Same on the palate with a refined texture and massive depth. Super complex wine that could go toe to toe with high-end White Burgs!! Prime drinking age, sad it’s my last of this vintage.
I thought this started to get overpriced, I am dead wrong!! Worth every penny!! -

April 5, 2023 - Lots of layers on the nose; pear/quince, lemon curd, almonds, marshmallow, vanilla, minerals. Similar palate with excellent acidity and very subtle tannins. Lovely now with a decant, but definitely built to go for a few more years no problem. Great QPR when put up against more expensive burgundy.
Still there on day 3 holding strong. -

February 12, 2023 - Really surprising complexity on my last bottle. Peach and lime up front, then light oak notes, and a long vanilla finish. Nectarine. Cantaloupe. Almost some Riesling-esque petrol notes. High five, Steve!
