  Since we recently had great luck with the 2018, we leapt at the chance to try an older one from a restaurant list. Deep yellow, orange tinged. Aromas of herb, melon, hay, honey, and just a whiff of grilled nuts. Full bodied, lovely glycerine texture. Dry, savory, and rich with cleansing acidity and a lightly oxidative note. Not about the fruit, which you feel more than taste. This really evoked Savennières for me. Not an everyday wine but full of interest and very food friendly-from asparagus to eel to pork loin.

  Another terrific bottle. Green Apple on the nose. Grapefruit. Minerally. Mountain herbs. Complex. My last 2015.

  This has evolved really nicely. It has a lot of time left though, on this showing. It is a very subtly beautiful wine, like a watered down Jura chardonnay from one of the masters like Ganevat or Labet. But it is watered down with the most beautiful mountain spring water, so fresh and enticing. Lemon, tangerine, red apple, a hint of powdered sugar and loads of minerality (again, like a mountain spring). I liken this to the wine equivalent of sitting with your back against a wall enjoying the first sunrays of spring warming your face, in somewhere cold like Sweden where I am, where you really miss the sun during the winter months.

  This has evolved nicely. Apples, with a hint of lemon and grapefruit with accompanying mountain herbs. Beautiful wine.

  I opened this and gave it a lot of air time. This aroma is one that is just a cornucopia of mountain herbs and minerals. I like the comment about honeyed ginger. Maybe a little mango too. Very long finish. I feel this needs a decant and should not be served too cold. Very expressive as it warms up. Boy is this good.
