  April 20, 2024 - Depressirisé à l'argon, label visible, verre Gabriel, 14°C, analyse extemporanée; joli citronné, une presentation assez exotique (mangue ferme, passion)qui devient de plus en plus evidente, une legere sensation de cire de rûche. Attaque franche florale, corps exotique et salin, finale minerale et élégante. Vin éclatant avec une belle fraicheur, et une finale maitrisée. Excellent.

  March 9, 2024 - What makes this wine great is the incredibly strong aroma that lingers for hours even from an emptied glass. That alone is evidence of the amount of nectar present here. Unfortunately, the acidity was on the edge of tolerable - for me still OK, but my wife refused to participate. Good match to fatty roasted salmon. Speaking of ageability I really don't know. Not long ago I had a similar creation by Huet aged for 11 years, and it seemed untouched by time. Probably after 50 or more years, there would be some notable changes, but I am not sure.

  February 29, 2024 - I had the pleasure of an earlier vintage of this exact wine and I think I prefer a few years on it. I am an acid head but it was too much even for me. Exquisite flavors underneath if you could get past the teeth searing.

  February 25, 2024 - 92-93. 金桔，high acid, lemon, grapefruit, lots of green plant notes with minerals, hint of sweetness. Balanced and smooth on the palate, medium full body with good richness. Very well made but not my favorite flavor profile

  October 14, 2023 - Pale gold. Nose of fresh orchard fruit, diesel, wet stone, lime, hints of ginger. Layers of crisp grapefruit, white peach, nectarine, and buzzy petrol on the tongue with scintillating acidity and blade-like spine. Longer finish of citrus, grass, and stone. Lovely with shrimp scampi over orzo. Young and delicious.
