The wine is definitively drinkable but devoid of any charm or interesting facets. It was pretty thin and non-descriptive at the beginning and age has not done much to improve it. Definitively overpriced for what it is worth. A good five year old Silvaner from Franconia, at half the price, delivers twice the pleasure....

Flintstone with a green and slightly bitter taste ("cold smoke"), in the mouthfeel a lot of cream ... hints of elder. Excellent balance. Flowery. Dry wine, mid-palate and good finish.

Pale yellow. Apples, SO2, yeast. Honey, Apple, baked apple, tropical. Seems Fresh enough but hint of oxidation and bitterness. Enjoyable but weird....free sulphur and oxidizing!?!? Wtf???

Pale golden color; on the nose verjus, lemongrass, lime - quite acidic On plate there is a bit of a flint but not much else Quite flat, watery, short and anemic. Reminds me of the Pouilly Fuisse of Fabrice Larochette. Probably overcropped. Definitively not worth its price The 2012 Saint Romain of Domain billiard Pere + Fils drunk alongside was much better and better value

Deep gold in color this wine has aroma of blended melon, (apricot), and textures of mineral body with dry texture
