  Je l'ai trouvé décevant. 9 ans c'etait peut être trop pour cette bouteille. Pas de nez, pas de fruit en bouche, aucune longueur. Je m'attends à beaucoup mieux des 2015 et 2017 que je boirai plus en jeunesse.

  I enjoyed this last night, though I think I would have enjoyed it even more maybe 2 years ago. There were lovely peach, wax, and wool flavors, and a light ginger note, and the mid-palate and finish were both quite long. It would have been very good with a creamy chicken dish, or perhaps a lobster risotto. The wine was in good shape right out of the bottle, it had a rich golden color and slight oxidation which called to mind Chenin, except the acid wasn't high enough for a Loire Chenin. Also, the alcohol stuck out a bit. It did call to mind the whites of the Northern Rhone, though without the concentration of an Hermitage. Served blind, a sommelier-friend initially thought it reminded him of Vouvray or a white Musar.
  
  In the end, it was a bit easy-drinking and I wanted a bit more acid for the freshness and the balance, which is why I said I wish I'd opened it 2 years ago, but it was quite fine for a cold rainy night.

  Great wine, very dry and full bodied. In fact voluptuous, but the bone-dry character makes it elegant. You have to be in for this..... I am.

  Same bottle as Salil. I liked this a bit better than he did. There are the waxy, darker notes present, but the higher acid than is typically encountered with some of these flavors gives it a nice lift. Perhaps the 10% Chardonnay included brightens it, too. Not sure I'd re-buy given then current price, but nice to try.

  More interesting than genuinely pleasurable for me. There's plenty of ripe citrus and white fruit at the core here, but it has a lot of the waxy and lanolin flavours I have a hard time getting past in many Southern Rhone whites. There's surprisingly bright acidity here, but still it's a wine that's hard for me to keep coming back to.
