Pleasant. Less slightly overdone spice & cinnamon stick than I remember. Been a while since my last.

Young but oh so vibrant, showing lots of Length and finesse. One of our favorite wines from DuMol. Definitely should cellar a few bottles. — 8 months ago

So this was very subdued and a little harsh on the acidic part on day one, dispite the 96RP rating and descriptors of "explosive flavors". To me, I taste more like a streamlined/seamless chablis profile. On day two the stubborn acids have integrated and the nose is much more expressive. Palate is also hinting more towards premier/grand cru burgundy. But not quite getting there. Ironically the last few sips of the last glass were the best. This just needs way more cellar time. Next one in two-four years. 95-96 potential. — 2 years ago

Great balance of earthy and fruit tones, heavy berry aromas on the nose, crisp taste and solid finish. 2022 vintage is excellent, opened up nicely after 30-45 minutes. — 2 months ago

Xmas Eve quaff. Delicate and subtle presentation on the nose and palate. Restrained in every way. Notes of citrus and beeswax combine on the nose with a light honied sweetness on the mid palate. Acidity is delicate. Overall, a nice presentation but nothing to get excited about either — 5 months ago

Berries and tobacco with earthy undertones. Finish is soft, short, and understated. Paired with prime rib and it held up well against the beef — 9 months ago

Medium bodied, so punches up in weight class, but still nice acidity that paired well with a crustless quiche. Pale yellow/slightly green color with a delicate nose of crisp citrus, with ripe yellow fruit on the palate lasting a long time, but spreading out into some slight brioche and creaminess to the edges, with even some grassy and leek like vegetal hints at the end. — 3 months ago

After 2 oxidized bottles, nice to know there are good bottles as well. This one is really good, and even better at day 2. — 6 months ago

Mixed spice on the nose transitions to honeydew melon and roasted nuts and elderflower. Possesses depth and texture with moderate acidity. Nice lengthy finish. Loving this…
