Wow! Awesome bottle/wine! Lovely gold color. Butter, minerals, Meyer lemons, camomile, and melons on the nose. Same on the palate with a refined texture and massive depth. Super complex wine that could go toe to toe with high-end White Burgs!! Prime drinking age, sad it’s my last of this vintage.

I thought this started to get overpriced, I am dead wrong!! Worth every penny!!

Giving less aromatically than expected but this is excellent on the palate. So much great minerality with honeysuckle and a bit of white fruit. Long piercing finish. Quite nice.

Update: bumping up on day two. Stony minerality really comes through. Excellent balance. Crazy amount of tartaric crystals.
