  Quite a floral nose of Arum lily and heady blossom. There is rich peach fruit and some custard apple. It is unctuous and full with a finish that drives on.

  Tasted blind. This was paired with a crab, white egg dish and it was a match made in heaven because the wine was really rich and buttery. Had some nutty notes as well but stayed clear from the oxidative side. A bit too baroque for my palate but what a pairing this was.

  Oxidized, drinkable but quite flat and tired.

  Very nice nose on citrus fruits, white flowers and wet stone.
  The palate is velvety, with a touch of fat and good texture. It remains quite monastic on the palate on citrus and butter while the nose is exuberant. However the balance is there, it is pleasant and very drinkable. The finish is explosive, long and powerful. It is syrupy, the wine lines the throat and aromas of salted butter caramel invade everything. Very good length. It's dense while still being digestible.
  
  Very good, too bad the mouth has what I would call a misfire in the sense that wine has everything for it, but the second stage of the rocket unfortunately does not ignite. This empty spell is compensated by a finish of rare intensity. Despite everything, it falls short of the benchmark of the appellation that remains for me Leflaive.

  I quite liked this - big but very chiseled nose, orchard fruit more than citrus with lots of mineral and a touch of spearmint. More impressive on the palate where its depth really resonates; a fresh and long finish.
