Medium straw color - rose tint Medium aromas of gooseberry and strong fresh herbal notes Medium bodied with palate of ripe lemon/ tarragon and grass Medium plus acidity - laser sharp with medium alcohol and medium length Little dilute on the palate and a little out of synch Not sure if this might improve with time - almost feels tight This was better next day so would prob hold

Pale ('white' not golden) and very clear in the glass, pure white wine on the palate--no wood, no citrus or apricot or pineapple, etc. or highly floral notes. In some ways hard to describe! Perhaps a hint of pear on the nice finish. Very good.

Wow, what a great bottle of white wine. Somewhere between Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc (the Garagiste says it’s Sauvignon Blanc). Yum, only problem is I’m running out, with no offer of the 2020’s yet.

Presuming that this bottle is sound and healthy (and so is the taster), a dramatic and disappointing drop-off compared to the prior three. It still has a nice chiseling and texture, but much of the nice bouquet and fruit seems to have lost intensity and persistence. Can a VdF blanc have a dumb phase? If not, there’s either huge bottle variation or this just may be on its way out. 5+9+15+6= 85
