Decanted and drunk over 2 hours. Yellow fruits and very creamy, almost some buttery notes. Extremely complex and for me still young, enjoy over the next 10 years. This is wonderful stuff

Expressive nose of yellow fruit, lemon rind, some grassy elements as well intermixed with a touch of honey. Rich and plush palate, almost a bit vulgar. Rather heavy but luckily not oxidative. At peak. Drink up.

Big and beautiful, such cream ad pineapple. Still, a little straight-forward. But good bones here. Should be more interesting in a few years but actually drinking so well now in a reductive, robust manner.

Tropical creamy/buttery fruit, papaya, plantain, melon, cream, butter, minerality, slate, grave. Lean on the nose, but slight sweetness to the finish. Nice creaminess of flavors, med/med+ body, great concentration, good structure. Sauvignon Blanc keeps it bright and fresh, Sémillon must be adding the cream and layers of flavor. A surprise and a joy to drink and experience. 94 pts
