Pours a medium gold color. Fully mature with honeyed orchard and stone fruits with plenty of mineral. The palate is rich and showing moderate honey notes, but the acids are still there providing energy and balance. Good and interesting. Drink now, if this bottle is representative.

enjoyable but getting to point where it is only downhill thereafter - a little reductive but not excessive - structure good - plenty going on to maintain interest

Disappointing on initial blush no pronounced nose and strong oaky notes. 24 hours later not much better though 48 hours after opening better nose - some iniseed notes - and a better mouth feel. Overall does not live up to its billing - may have just been this bottle so will try my other bottle in a few months time

White Wines From France or....You Really Can't Think of a Better Title Than That?; 8/22/2009-8/23/2009 (SWS): nose: slightly vegetal, with a little graphite. and...my notes end. I enjoyed this, but next to the 02 Marc Colin et fils Les Champs-gains, my attention was elsewhere...I recall thinking I would have enjoyed this more on its own, had not been over-matched so completely by the competition.
