  QN: have had 2 of these now recently... they just aren't getting better in the way i thought they would. deeply colored, pineapple, minerals, honey, wool. on the palate there are high acids and a somewhat disjointed palate. likely past its prime.

  Lemon, flinty smokey stone, chalk. Touch of oak. Good acidity but not overwhelming. Feels good value at the price (€60).
  
  Blind tasted I thought this was a Chardonnay - Grand Cru Chablis. Satisfied because an MW in the group agreed...

  Light gold. Classic Chenin notes, which others have described well below. Stony texture on the palate is the best thing about this wine. But I don't find that its much of a step up in complexity from the Moulins. Maybe this bottle was just a little off though.

  Really good. The nose is complex and intriguing: lemon, pear, quince, vegetal aromas (dried herbs, root vegetables) and some floral notes. The palate is all about texture: it opens pretty full with nice density and some creaminess but then the acidity really pierces through on the mid-palate and it finishes on nice chalky minerality. This is an interesting and delicious wine. It has the structure to continue to age beautifully but I don't know the track record here in regards to oxidation. It drinks very nicely now but I'll hold the other 5-7 years to see how it evolves.

  Pop and pour. Wow, this has evolved in the last 1.5 years. Lovely nose of tarragon, soft sweet green pepper, a hint of lanolin, lemon..a lovely savory and sweet mix. On the palate: fantastic acidity, amazing density; sweet apple, tarragon, sweet pepper, loads of stony minerality, sea salt. Intensely flavored, and a nice long finish. Flat out stunning right now.
