Wow, very good. Popped and poured almost as an afterthought against two rather distinguished 1er Cru Burgundies. In my mind, this one won hands down (and if you knew me, you would be shocked by that statement). Vibrant nose of vanilla, quince and mango (OK, I have no idea if it smelled like quince--hell, I do not even know what quince looks like--but I needed another aroma). Quite viscous on the palate with tons of fruit and a very nice finish. Will hold up for a couple of years. At least.

Crisp acidity, with nice apple, honey, melon and fig flavors. Probably at its peak.

Nice apple and citrus flavors, medium bodied, not overly-oaked. Long finish. Delicious.
