Bought from Verve in SF, who got it directly from the chateau. On the nose - baked meyer lemon, cantelope melon, vanilla and caramel. While there are signs of oak, it is very well integrated at this point. On the palate, peach cobbler flavors come to the forefront. Med+ acid does a nice job of balancing out the richness. Around the ~4 hour mark, some beautiful minerality emerged along with some green apple, which was very limestony/Burgundian. Last sip was the best, which is what my score reflects.

I'd agree with the last taster who said this was past prime. Still decent but advanced oxidative notes mask some of the citrus fruit. Expected a little more from this one honestly. Drink up!

Just keeps getting better and better. I wish I had more. Mineral, floral, more like a Chablis than a Burgundy to me, but like neither. Perfect balance.

Fully developed, brown butter in the mouth. Lovely but on the verge of being past it.

I kept last bottle awhile as an experiment. Finally went over the hill. Gold color, oxidized notes. A great run while it lasted though.
