Like a great Chablis. The wine needs time to open up and gather air in order to show its best. Lemon lime mineral juice here. Texture is great. So well made, and such a profound value.

next taste about 18 months later and this continues to be really excellent. The qualitative gap between this wine and a Comtes Lafon Meursault and Dujac MSD 1ere on the table was relatively slim.
Generous fruit, no detectable oak but ever so slightly reductive in style, this wine has lots in the tank for years to come. Great winemaking

-- popped and poured -- -- tasted non-blind over a couple hours --
NOSE: enjoyable, high-toned aromatics with papaya and banana dominating.
BODY: light golden yellow color; medium-light bodied. Diam5 closure.
TASTE: medium+ acidity; fuzzy mineral behind some present-but-taut Chardonnay fruit; comes across as ripe-restrained, and *not* a gloppy overripe oak bomb; fantastic QPR!; just a lovely medium-light Chardonnay that's much more mineral & steel than fruit & oak. 12.5% alc. not noticeable. So happy I bought a few of these. gut impression score: 90 - 92.

Continues to be absolutely delicious! Removed the Diam closure about an hour before tasting. Consistent with prior bottles.
