90 Points

Saturday, September 20, 2008 - This had some obvious bottle age. Must have been at the shop a while because I only bought it last spring... Oxidized autolytics, mostly sourdough, eventually gave way to spiced apple and almonds. Immaculately balanced. Lithe acid and a compelling mineral structure provide real depth. Masculine for a blanc de blanc. This wine had real stature but still falls short of the Theise catalog description. (Next day: checked the cork. Not a trace of expansion. This one might have been in a dark corner of the wine shop for even longer than I first suspected...)
