July 10, 2018 - Deep yellow straw color. Nose of pistachio, yeasty, melon, lemon pith, minerals. Made in a slightly oxidative style. Medium-full bodied, glycerin, nice thread of acidity. Very long finish. A gorgeous wine drinking nicely now. Needs decanting and warmer than refrigerator temp to fully appreciate.

July 8, 2016 - Vindredi (Bellevue, WA): Already showing its age, with a hint of oxidation and some honey on the nose. Very rich and full bodied. Yellow fruit, lime, glycerine, with a soft texture. Medium acidity.

May 28, 2015 - Nice nose of stone fruit, apples, chalk, earth, minerals, some citrus, and a bit of honey. Citrus, apples, stone fruit, bitter fruit skin, minerals, and earth on the palate. Good acidity, nice suppleness, fades quickly, but lingers on the palate. I like this a lot. It would quite welcome on the dinner table.

January 31, 2012 - Very austere on first opening. As it opens up and warms get some typical sweet white fruit on the nose as well as some nutty, almondy scent. Similar taste on the palate with some racy minerality and acidity, nice balance, fairly light bodied. Not sure I'm a huge fan but the wife likes it a lot.

May 16, 2011 - Kermit Lynch French Wine Private Tasting Closeout (DEPs): Pale golden with a light body. Green apple and a slight grassiness on the nose. Tastes of creamy green apple and citrus with decent minerality. A medium length finish with a slight butterscotch with green apple and citrus
