March 20, 2015 - A lot of development here but no signs of oxidation. Butter from the oak, chalky mineral notes and fresh, tropical fruit. The acidity is still lively. Complex and well-tasting on it's own or matched with cod and bacon.

June 14, 2014 - An extremely well developed wine where butter and popcorn from the oak now is well integrated in the rich fruit. Still high on acidity and nuances of yellow apples, candied citrus, fresh herbs and chalky mineral notes. No signs of oxidation. Outstanding in my book. Drinks well now but may be kept maybe five more years.

JorisB Does not like this wine: 75 points
August 16, 2012 - The wine looks Blonde colored. The legs are Medium. It smells like Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Apple blossom. It tastes like Lemon, and Lime. The body is Light/Medium. Lots of acidity (too much for a Rully 1er cru). The wine has Flabby texture. The wine finishes Short.
