This was a journey. Started off thin and watery. Took 45 minutes and then became very aromatic in a tertiary way. The nose was gorgeous for a while and palate got opulent but remained lithe. Then it finished off thin and watery but there was a good window. The score is for when it was drinkable. It was for maybe 40 minutes. Very cool to taste. Given to my friend by Puffeney for his 40th birthday. — 9 months ago

Smells like late night room-temperature lemon bars and honeyed cashews, tastes like sugar cookies topped with Lemon Heads, and Lays Potato Chip crumbles from the bottom of the bag you've dumped directly into your mouth. — 8 years ago

I just had this with some Strozzapreti with freshly foraged morels and in season peas...and the whole thing just sang. 'sous viele' Chard at its finest. Engaging, distinctive, and downright delicious. All I'm gonna say is : FAUQUETTE! — 9 years ago

Terrific. Deep golden in color. A sense of oxidation or maybe more like a sherry cask aroma. Dry. — 7 years ago

Firstly the nose is driven by strong Sherry notes. Gets better & more harmonious with air. The Sherry turns into curry plant, fennel blended with hints of apricot & yellow stone fruit. Like a laser beam on the palate, very salty, vibrating and grasping. Long finish. — 7 years ago

Bruised green apple, sweet-tart lemon, then cream cheese, hay, blanched almond, bee pollen. Oxidized, saline stuff; description does the combination of flavors little justice. Yum. — 9 years ago

I love opening this wine for people who hate on chardonnay. Opens some eyes. Of course, some of them then start hating on oxidative winemaking. Their loss.

Dorky to the max. More or less undrinkable, until you have it with a good Comte at which point it turns into pure magic. Open it for your wine geek friends for street cred or your normal friends for the nasty look on their face. — 7 years ago

2007: The nose doesn't prepare you for the lovely cotton candy sweetness on the palate. A very pleasant wine with medium weight and a nice uplift of sweetness toward end, yet with a good acidic cut to keep things in check. Would like to have again. — 9 years ago
