Yellow flower and French baguette on the nose. Medium rich on the palate. Good with richer seafood. Great with cream based pasta dishes. Excellent with white asparagus, morels, hollandaise!!!! — 7 years ago

What a find. Nose- white blossoms, honey water, marzipan. Palate- same as nose, with more concentration of flavors. The medium viscosity coats the palate leading into a lengthy nutty finish. Pairs well with white fish, simple pastas, hard cheeses, even pork dishes. Over the course of 3 hours the wine opened more to become richer and more masculine while retaining finesse. — 8 years ago

2011 vintage. Bright and crisp up front. Yellow and green apple in the middle. Finishing up with almond and walnut undertones. Pop a bottle and let it open up for a half hour before taking the 2nd sip, if you can wait that long. — 8 years ago

At first taste- bright, crisp, rambunctious, high-toned citrus. After 20min- rounded and developed, concentrated stone fruits. Very dry, but also rich on the palate. Could go another 20yrs before the youthfulness begins to fade. — 8 years ago

375ml. Enjoyable now, but needs another decade before it will shine. Showing more white floral notes versus fruit at this stage. Sweetness level is medium for a moelleux — 8 years ago

From a 375ml. Showing great character and finesse. Turned earth and damp forest floor. Aromas of dried violet and wet stone. Smooth and elegant tannins. — 8 years ago

Tart red fruits with well integrated tannins. Medium finish with red rose notes lingering on. Great with red meats that have a touch of sweetness or richness to them. Meatballs with roasted, caramelized tomatoes would be a match. — 8 years ago

Apple cider is the dominant flavor here. Meyer lemon also comes through on the palate. Flavors on the palate dance around changing from floral to fruit then to bright minerality. The nose is somewhat closed and unimpressive. Honestly, I prefer the richness of the NV versus the lean style of the 2004. Perhaps in 10 years, this baby will be ready? — 8 years ago

Bottled under natural cork. Oxidation to the point of being undrinkable. An unfortunate purchase. Used for cooking instead. — 8 years ago

Big, juicy, and chewy, but not from tannin. A brightness of acidity wakes up the tastebuds. Smokiness on the backend, finishing with earthy spices. Needs a red meat protein with a good amount of fat. — 8 years ago
