Powerful and richly textured balanced by loads of acid. This was excellent but slightly outshined by an electric bottle of '11 d'Auvenay Narvaux next to it.

Wow! Sensational, bursting nose. Very concentrated, with immense drive, powerful citrus, intense mineral, nutty and spicy ending impressive and explosive on the finish!!

Winter Solstice Tasting @ JD's home (Groot-Ammers): Winter Solstice tasting. Bottle number 0272 of 1224. This wine is so special...What an amazing nose, my first Folatières by d' Auvenay. A wine I will never forget, many thanks to Guus from bringing this superb wine. Kept the glass during the entire night to smell from sometimes...Entering all the notes now two days after the tasting, this wine is still haunting me! If this 1er Cru is this good, then just exactly how good is the Chevalier-Montrachet by d' Auvenay?!

Similar notes to bottle a few months ago with impressive textural richness and plenty of balancing acid. No rush here.
