So so tight. Started to show its potential only after lots of time in the decanter. The glass is rattling—so much energy. Incredibly powerful but somehow light on its feet. A great wine in need of cellar time — 5 years ago

Definitely in the style of Dagueneau even as this was after Didier's untimely death in 08. Not that usual grass citrus melon cat pee SB thing...structured wine. stylish! — 8 years ago

Opened and poured into a ship decanter for two hours before being returned to the bottle another couple of hours prior to dinner at Le Bouillon. A golden color that seem lighter on the rim. On the nose, this is eminently rustic with stone fruits, wild flower honey, echinacea and butterscotch. On the palate, not nearly as oxidative as the nose would suggest. In fact, this is remarkably fresh with bright apricot and nondescript tropical fruits. Medium-plus acid. The finish is long and somewhat saline. A wine of brilliant texture. A stunning pairing with marinated octopus and was delightful with the other courses of our meal as well. A small portion was left for further evaluation the following day. I am happy to report that it held up very well indeed. The late Serge Hochar once said that his white wines seem to gain freshness with age. The 2005 vintage shows there is likely truth to his assessment. Well cellared examples should drink well for at least another decade. I, for one, look forward to checking in on these for many years to come. — 3 years ago
The perfect wine with sweet chocolate the charcoal finish pairs perfectly — 7 years ago
Fuck yes! This is so delicious. Nose is dripping with sweet grapefruit, key lime, mango skin, peach, creme brûlée, lees, toast and citrus blossoms. Palate is very complex. Juicy ripe citrus, stone, and tropical fruit up front, moving to crushed rocks, verbena, seamless oak. There's considerable grip, phenolic character and loads of extract. The mid-palate weight and length are insane. Lots of ripping acid driving the wine. Reminds me of Dagueneau but with more flare and opulence. — 7 years ago
