Paired with lobster. This was showing some age but still interesting. More caramel and creamy butter notes than in its youth. Lacking a little acidity on the finish is really all that was of note. Silky smooth with a long aftertaste. Lots of flint on the nose as well. Just held on to it a few years too many. Just enjoy these a little younger. Drink up.

Great 1er Cru. Typical linear mineral character, but with a salinity that really stood out. Very nice with no signs of decline in its 14th year. 93+

Very nice. Showing some age but not over the hill by any measure. Very nice and well balanced.

Appearance is rich gold fading to a clear rim.
Rich, nuanced and fleshy on the nose. Still floral. Notes of grilled pineapple, sweet lemon lime, coconut cream and a core of salinity.
Palate is light but textural and exceptionally long. Pronounced acid.
Flavours of pineapple and mango evolve to powerful citrus, almond and subtle coconut cream all wrapped around a saline core.
Great wine in a great spot although it can evolve and integrate further.
Drink to 2027.
