Took time to open, so nose was somewhat reticent, and palate a tad unbalanced with acidity. After warming and 30 minutes depth and character markedly improved and just kept getting better. High end citrus and minerality, stone fruit lurking underneath, richness and length, clean fruit and acid finish. Wish I had another to check out in 6 months or year. Very good qpr at original price especially as Burgundy prices soar.

Amazing wine. Bright, piercing acidity that played great with Asian dinner. But this is also so much more. There’s a whole range of layered fruits on the nose and palette, plus a reductive note that’s really intriguing. No overt signs of oak here, it’s much more Chablis in style. This bottle went wayyy too fast. Excellent producer.

Very much like ANDREW H note, especially on opening and until air time broadened the palate. Intense is the word, though not a flaw or unbalanced as such, just needed time to add more dimensions to the fruit. Great body and length, clean and direct. Will let second bottle get a bit more age and see where that takes it.

Bright, light-gold color. Very mineral on the nose, aromas of oyster shell & slate, along with lime & orange flesh & zest, celery salt & white pepper, ginger powder, hazelnut and lavender. Lean and piquant on the attack, with juicy zesty citrus and depth of crushed stone, hazelnut, white pepper and hints of clove. Dense and fleshy middle palate, with taut acidity and tightly rounded edges towards a lengthy and mouthwatering finish.

Totally different than last experience. Piercing citrus and minerality, lemon and grapefruit tinged with honey and tropical notes.
