This was a very nice bottle but one that did not provide as much pleasure and harmony as I had anticipated. A bit acidic with good color and still slightly tannic, suggesting greater longevity and possibly better things to come, but I don't believe this bottle would have had much more to give with more age. Well stored throughout its life.

A lovely wine. Pale golden yellow with floral and honeyed citrus scents. Stony minerality, balanced acidity and rich fruit resonate to create a chablis-like freshness. I imagine well-stored bottles have years of life remaining. My one and only bottle.

Opened during the holidays, held under gas and tasted many times since. Elegant, lean, only moderately sweet, showing some complexity. Slight astringency on the finish, but perfumed, balanced and quite enjoyable, especially upon opening.
