Still quite young but an opulent, and mostly botrytis vintage. This wine didn’t show any of the botrytis. It was however pretty fluffy and marshmallow in texture. This was opened at left at cellar temp for 2 hours prior to drinking. Wish I would have opened a few hours earlier. Glad I have 3 more. Wont open the others until 2025 or later. — 4 years ago

Fireworks. Serious old world charm and only 12.25% alcohol. Hard to tell this isn’t GC Chablis — 6 years ago

Great acid backbone with the sweetness of the Cali fruit starting to show a bit more. These are slow to evolve so I’d say it’s in a solid place. — 6 years ago

Perfect color, fill and character. There were plenty of toasted caramel notes from the malo and still very bright acid. I’d say 5-10 years still in front of it for peak. — 6 years ago
