Light straw color with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit adding a touch of floral spice notes. On the palate flavors of pineapple, peach and grapefruit with citrus and honeysuckle notes, generous acidity, great mouthfeel with long finish ending with a salty mineral spice character. Nice wine! — 2 years ago
2007 Lime, lime pith and lemon peel hold strong despite age. Lemon madeleines, orange oil, tangerine pith, lemongrass, evergreen. Orange peel, lemon oil and lemongrass forefront, while lime neutralizes to background color green olive swims in the lime, chamomile, kefir lime, grape leaf, crystalline salinity. Bright and ripe after 15 years!

Popped and poured just below my cellar temp (which is currently at 59°F); enjoyed over the course of two days. Consistent throughout. The 2006 pours a reflective, straw color with silvery rim. Medium viscosity with no signs of particles or gas. On the nose, the wine is developing. Notes of lemons, limes, honey, cashews and oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium++ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super chalky. This is absolutely killer Chablis that almost seems evergreen. Drink now through 2031.

Pop and pour. I want to follow, but this is disappearing very quickly. On the nose, the word purity comes to mind; all the aromas are so well-delineated and yet simultaneously well-blended. Lime oil, crushed pine nuts, evergreen sap, loads of crushed stone, peach. On the palate: fantastic acidity, absolutely amazing density, wet stone, sappy lime, soft reduction. The intensity is really amazing, and a fantastically long, slightly spicy finish. — 3 years ago
Opened up after a few hour decant, but still needed a marbled steak for balance. Deep dark blackberry pie, tobacco, evergreen needles, and uplifted cranberry. Well balanced with great purity of fruit and persistent length. American oak flavors surround both red and black forest berries. Still very youthful... definitely decant or cellar. — 4 years ago

Top notch Riesling from Keuka Lake. Lots of slate, limey minerals. Hint of pine. Perfect acidity. — 6 months ago
