July 11, 2010 - interesting to notice that almost no one on cellartracker! owns this wine. what a shame, because you all are missing a wonderful CdP blanc drinking experience. the wine continues to take on weight with modest age, and it's complimentary flavors with food like the lobster dumplings jane served tonight is quite excellent. i love the oily texture of this wine in the mouth, and the complex marmalade notes on the long finish. now on par with the 04. zowie!

August 11, 2009 - 'Casa Ray' offline: Slightly darker, mid straw. Full, waxy, oily, slightly smokey nose. Viscous, quite minerally palate. Good length. Not my type of wine but very good if a little hot on the finish. ***

October 21, 2008 - i like the 04 better, and consider it a wine better with food than on it's own. oily, thick mouthfeel, marmalade and pears.

August 27, 2007 - G7 (Jock): Pears, honeydew melon and peaches. Beautiful complexity in the mid palate. Very full bodied. Long, elegant finish.
