VDP auction bottling. Hard to describe this one as its weightless and in complete balance. There's no hard edges anywhere, but still one of the most hardcore wines that I've ever tasted. The acid level tips the scales and its tart citrusy profile does include some tropical fruits but this this wine is all about its acid drive and nervous minerality. Unique. — 10 years ago
Lovely with foie grass. sweet with apricot and peaches — 7 years ago
Deep gold. Honeyed apple and snowblower on the nose. Rich mouthfeel of pears and peach, yet the finish was quite short. Still, ripe with elegant acid showcasing the vintage. Drink up. — 9 years ago
Good balance, well integrated. Grippy tannins on the finish with good structure. Drinking very well right now. — 9 years ago
In the nose I smell sweet tobacco and hints of anise. Wet leather and the smell of rain. Big in tannin and foul-mouthed wine. Not a long end but need to age. — 9 years ago
Excellent, citrus, mineral, rich, lengthy finish — 10 years ago
