Really good. Opened kind of soft, but gained weight, texture and complexity with air. A bit of tropical fruit and minerality. Delicious. Still going strong. Glad I have another one!

Pale straw color; fresh nose – first sensation is the sweet honey, followed by peach and pear aromas - slight citrus also; full and pleasing on the palate, with lovely texture – full and round, nicely balanced with the acidity framing tree fruit flavors; mineral – chalk; round, flavorful, with a pleasing finish that cleanses the palate.; excellent finish – long and flavorful.
I really liked this wine - a fine bottle that rivals even some of the Grand Cru's from some producers.

Oh no! We drank this a while ago, in June, and it was damn tasty. Loads of ripe, mineral pear fruit. Boy, is this stuff rich for a white Burg. Drink this now, for serious hedonism, or wait five years for what could only be some seriously impressive stuff. Yeah!

Gorgeous wine. Bananas, white chocolate, and lychee on the nose. The same on the palate, with some lovely wet stone blended in. A lot of the complexity appears to come from the oak, but I won't be proud in this case -- I enjoyed it. A bit lacking in acidity, but forgivably so. Of note, our waiter put our bottle on ice, and by the time I noticed, the next glass poured was quite chilled. It shut down so much that it could have been a $20 bottle of California chardonnay. Drink this one close to room temperature.
