  Shared by a very generous mentor, was under vacuvin for a day.
  
  Pretty interesting and singular wine. Nose showed a hint of grass but it was dense and layered, maybe with some waxy character to it. The palate had density and coiling and weight with a slightly oily texture. The finish had supple minerality.
  
  Have to say I am a big Sauv Blanc fan and I've never had one like this. It is certainly singular. Very grateful to have tasted this as a reference point. Can only imagine what this was as a fresh bottle.

  This was a complete nothing-burger. Hugely confusing given the reputation here.
  
  Some faint grass and orchard fruit, no one was home.
  
  Could this have been that shut down? Low level TCA stripping the joy? Will assume it was defective.

  Dîner de Noël des anciens C&S (Restaurant Bagatelle): Nez qui nous faisait hésiter chenin ou sauvignon...Un vin frais, d'une
  belle densité, avec une texture noble et une finale ample, précise. Très bon, il pâlit toutefois face aux deux suivants, n'ayant pas la même concentration peut-être en raison du millésime plus léger. 92 pts

  6/4/2021 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 3 hrs and day 2, bottle from secondary market
  -translucent light/med gold with green
  -restrained faint white fruit floral
  -med acidity, med/med- weight with generous viscosity that greases the rail for a delivery of sappy mineral grapefruit pith intensity on the backend with a tangy long finish, with additional air gets more complex with some floral elements quinine and the faintest hint of oxidation otherwise no overt maturity; still lovely long elegant and complex on day 2
  -really quite interesting and lovely, has evolved considerably in 8 years but in no way tired in fact this may still have some additional upside
