France: 38 Wines from Kermit Lynch (E&R Wine Shop, Portland OR): Nice aromatic depth. Pretty. Quite compelling nose. Wow, incredible palate entry. Really great depth. So pure in its expressiveness. Notable wood, but it's nice and in balance. Such pure expression of soil and fruit. Similar deep, long finish, with just the right amount of balanced acidity without being cutting. Just soft and elegant. Lingers for a minute. Just awesome. Classy throughout in its approach. As most wines in this lineup were in the ~$30 range I freaked when I was poured this one before having to look back at the list to realize what it was... whoops. While not totally blind, it's elegance certainly stood apart from the rest. Drinking in a fine place today, actually.

Nice lemon oil qualities on the nose and palate. Balanced and showing nice texture. Acid is in line showcasing a wet gravely personality. A very nice wine. Expect more for the price tag though.

Drinking very well. Golden color. No hazelnuts but ripe golden fruits. Firm minerals. Unctuous but finishes long and clean.
