The 'Nicole Kidman vintage' according to Bruno Borie. The reputation here with grape selection is evident; its tightly wound but really no hard edges. The new oak aromatics pervade for atleast the 1st hour, but it's sort of regal rather than gaudy. Firm black fruits, medium body, and some incense and leather on the finish. Silky tannins, lots of finesse for a young Cabernet dominant blend. — 10 years ago

A very interesting blanc de noirs with body, creaminess and a very strong personality. — 11 years ago

Like a hard-edged, rustic Santenay. But not without charm. Woodsy, feral and bright. Would pair well with food, if you're into that sort of thing. — 12 years ago

Have a cold, but here's the palate anyway: creamy and sort of weightless on tip of the tongue, and bitter beneath it and on the sides. The top of the mouth and throat sting a little from the alcohol. There's an exotic bitterness or a firmness trapped somewhere within the blankets of its buttery transparent exterior. — 10 years ago

Sort of austere vintage, interesting in a good way — 11 years ago

A wine like this puts things in perspective. It puts all the winemakers making clumsy, oxidized skin-contact whites to shame. A beautiful wine, the sort of thing you always want to have a bottle of in the fridge. — 11 years ago

9.2

Ripping texture with that youthful sizzle, but even though this feels bone-dry it's not that sharp, punishing style of trocken. There is nice, fleshy, melony fruit that even has a sort of gentle sauvignon blanc-type character in the leftovers the next day once that immediate sizzle calms down. Also while it's very mineral it's not dark Mosel slate, it's chalky and so clean and flowery you could make a bath soap out of it. — 11 years ago

I am happy as a clam! Racy and minerally. I wish we could do this sort of mineral in the US. — 11 years ago
