  • Good not great as it showed just a little flabby from this hot year. Had the '16 last month and was much more vibrant and delish. Musso & Franks Eric B-day.

  • Beautiful floral/white fruit nose, some reduction, silky smooth entry, excellent intensity, long finish. Great all around, and perfect with the ham and Dauphinois potatoes. M&D, K&N, L

  • Nose: sesame, vanilla, white flowers
    Notes: it has been PYCM's style to make whites with high minerality and probably a higher acidity. The Les Baudine however was relatively full bodied comparing to his other wines and showed seductive nose of sesame, vanilla and white flowers. This is a very well balanced wine and the minerality was not too overwhelming so I quite liked this wine. This wine can be appreciated now and can be consumed over the next 10 years.

  • PNP. Flint, anise, spearmint and citrus fruits. Medium weight clenched fruit, lots of acid, bitter lemon rind and dry extract. Very impressive structure for a 15, belying the vintage reputation.

  • light to mid yellow, the aromas present initially oat meal, spice and dry toasty oak with a slight hint of reduction but within acceptability but slowly opens to reveal lemon rind, lemon cream biscuits to become more attractive.
    A strident acidity on entry, piled high with lemon, lemon tart, pastry alongside oatmeal infused with honey and nuts - nougat-like but not sweet. A linear profile, there is a purity and wonderful fruit intensity, typical of PVCM with its classic poise that makes for a cracking wine. Piquant as the wine finish with a mineral, chalk and apple edge, the wine finishes long. Classy with a excellent depth of fruit yet maintaining a delicate lemon blossom note. As the wine opened river the half hour, there was. A little more almond paste suggesting some evolution that with further time masked a little bit of the wine virtues.
