Much better day 2. Red fruit, leather, fairly light bodied, dry and balanced but not too complex. — 5 years ago
This is an exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. It is a cool climate wine, more similar to a Sancerre than a new world SB. It knocked my socks off. — 7 years ago
Love this. Great balance. Tart/ripe cherry side of things. Oak comes through very strong but it’s so balanced that it works. Could decant for an hour or so. Glad I have another bottle — 7 years ago
Big wafting nose. Honeysuckle, guava, even some plantains. Mineral with some granite as well peeking through and way way floral. Almost a floral paste. Hint of wood. So killer. So pure. Sick classic Billon Condrieu nose. Palate is classic Billon and not gloppy and floppy but has energy and intensity while also showcasing the exotic side of Condrieu. Shows amazing persistence and great dramatic minerals on the finish. Excellent. — 7 years ago
Very nice aromatics. Couldn't mistake it for anything but Northern Rhone. Approachable on opening and with the new oak had a very modern style at first. Decanted in a "duck" decanter, so lots of exposure to air. Evolved to a more pleasant / less modern style quickly even while retaining some of the new oak. Served in Rhone / Syrah glasses. Meaty but not too heavy, good palate of leather, earth, smoke, and some mushrooms. — 9 years ago

The aromas are tropical lemon blossoms and being on a pebble beach. Lemon custard and the hint of pineapple (including that feeling on your tongue that pineapple gives you - in a very light good way) round finish. Vintages 2014/2015. Disgorged 1/6/2018. TBL — 5 years ago
