Fantastic wine. Elegant and soft power with a French accent. Notes of plum, blue fruits, high gloss leather oil, soft tannins, and maybe even plum syrup. High alcohol but contained and soft a la France. The wine quiets two hours in. Beautiful. Almost blueberry panachages on finish. This is a delicious wine that Bordeaux drinkers would dawn for

Excellent expression of wet lemon zest and tangerine and peaches. Perhaps cumquat. Bit of smoky flint or burned match tip and honey/honeysuckle citrus. Medium acid and medium sweetness- would say it expresses itself as sweet rather than dry. Would be absolutely phenomenal with spicy Thai food. It wasn’t immediately expressed but a bit of gasoline. Tart peach. Beautiful golden color and a stronger expression of flinty smoke as this opens up. A phenomenal wine.

Melon, cantaloupe, honey dew, apricot good mineralogy with Meyer lemon. This would pair well with salty foods such as caviar or seafood, sushi, etc. This is a limestoney wine that is a bit sleepy but shows signs of excellence and old world hospitality.
