My thoughts remain that I feel the EGW is worth the price difference over the VGW. In fact, this EGW was really close in quality to their Eola Springs bottling (which I really like).
In comparison to the VGW, this displayed fruit early on instead of taking an hour or so to coax out. Lemon cream, pear, smoky lees/reductive, and soft oak usage aromatics. What I like about this wine (and the Eola) is how the profile on the palate can sport this weightless richness, all while flaunting nervy acidity. There is a beautiful marriage of white peach, grilled lemon, and savory mineral/rockiness at the front of the palate before it adds a bit of heft with marzipan and faint caramel. Great finish. 93+
Like other OR producers, these are a really nice bridge to riper style white burgundy (this one a bit Mersault like).
