At age 16 it's still very youthful. Light yellow colour. Nose is quite pronounced with white flowers, matchstick and lemon. Palate is crisp and with good amount of acidity. This should age for 5 more years before fully mature. 93+

Opened and served right away. I agree 100% with what ‘Eckie’ says below: “I don't think an Aligote can be better than this. The hands of a master are clearly visible.” Beautifully complex nose with citrus, oak and nuts with a rich yet fresh mouthfeel and backed with a citrus and acidic spine. There’s a good dose of oak here but it’s the good kind and it’s perfectly integrated and balanced. Finishes long and fresh. Drinking very well now. Excellent.

I don't think an aligote can be better than this. The hands of a master are clearly visible: a razorsharp nose of toasted bread, almonds and citrus fruits. On the palate, there's nice acidity and again fresh citrus. Finish is surprisingly long. Very nice.
