Drank a bottle with braised guinea hen with apples. Deep golden color. Intoxicating nose of nuts, sliced pear - it smells like an orchard in early October, and I mean that in the best sense-memory way possible. Gives the impression of a whole lot of wine in your mouth - baked apple giving way to very complex, smoky, nutty... in an oxidized style, but very alive. I would have had hard time (a) distinguishing this from an energetic older savennieres, and (b) pegging this wine’s age. Whatever. It’s delicious, and perhaps the best $20 I have ever spent on wine.

This showed poorly...I think it's time to put these down and come back in 5-10 years.

A wonderful wine that need 5-40 more years of aging.
