Have not had since the estate and wow this is insane. Unreal spice and mineral force. Overwhelming aromas and stunning wet earth. The gout de terroir is unreal. The decadence yet restraint is unreal. I could smell all day. Cherries on cherries on cherries. Cranberry bog, some light red currants. Just insane. Unreal finesse. Wow! Huge fruit soak and density. Massive structure and so pure. This always needs air and wow will this come alive after some air. Just stunning. 9.6 out of the gates. This got amazing after 2-3 hours and was all silk and satin with squeegee levels of red and black cherry fruit. I bet it will be even better tonight. — 11 days ago

Nose: still young.

Palate: elegantly rich. Balanced. Delicious. Like a proper version of a wine from the Macon.

Intense powdered minerals. Lemon flower. Complex.

Palate: intense precise lemon. Razor sharp minerals. Salty An unusual element on the finish.

Lyle is right. Brioche is very precise.

What an entry level wine. Juicy, alive, textured and so so long. — 2 months ago

Nose is hyper floral. Melon, wild mint, savory, MT on steroids yet lyrical. Stunning, sappy, deep, loads of dry extract, unreal density and juiciness. Such succulence, freshness, density and dry extract but with powerful fruit clarity. Love the bitter citrus pith on the finish. — 4 months ago

Pinot Blanc is usually “meh” in vinous form but not when it’s made by Patrick Adank. Varietally correct but oh so much more. Unreal purity and out of control finesse. So long, dense, nimble and stunning. Just insane mouthfeel. Art. — 6 months ago

Genius. What if white rhône wines had the acid of mosel riesling? More formal notes later. — 2 months ago

Fantastic. A range of strawberry, perfectly ripe, sweet cherry, humus, peonies, fresh roses, hint of anise, black tea. Palate of sweet cherry, strawberry, well integrated acidity and grip, excellent length. This is a unique wine and clearly has a sense of place. @Lyle Fass — 4 months ago
