This is a totally brilliant wine. Just outrageous. The nose is a 10. Caramel, ocean air, salt, fresh wood shavings, burnt embers, tea leaves, just unreal. Completely blown away. You cannot ask for anything more. It’s so expressive yet so grounded. Absolute peak aromatic brilliance. It is so scary elegant you think it’s floating but that saltiness kicks in while swishing and then icing on a cake like a dry Mosel but unreal clarity and richness to the salty nutty flavors and just thunderous acidity. The elegance and inner mouth aromas and flavor intensity are just incredible. This and the 2010 are neck and neck. — 8 days ago

Fascinating. Like a white port or sherry. Nearly amber colored. Oxidative and reductive. Lots of wood. Hardly acidic at first but as it opens acidity goes to plus. Finishes shorter than I’d like. — 5 months ago

Smells amazing and really classic Jura. Similar to Gahier wines on the nose. Really rich, has plenty of acid but is also weighty. Wants hearty food — 2 months ago

An incredibly powerful, oxidative wine from Jura. The intensely nutty, salty, oily, honied flavors were magical with the “Pastured chicken, preserved lemon, garlic confit” dish which tasted braised and white-saucey.
This would also be perfect with stinky cheese! — 4 months ago
