Fascinating wine. Tasted almost Demi Se. Rich and unctuous with beeswax, Binet comb and golden pear. Great Foie pairing

Clear, star bright and pure green lemon, low concentration and medium plus viscosity.
Clean, medium intensity aromas of Mango, banana, yellow flower of orange blossom,mineral of stony.
Dry, medium plus body and medium alcohol, medium acidity and medium plus finish and medium complexity. This wine is round and muscular, better for ageing. $228

A good rich white when you can't take any more Chardonnay

Powerful if less flashy than I’d hoped. Let sleep awhile longer.

I very much love this wine, but it’s a bit past it’s prime this time. 5yrs was it’s sweet spot.

Nice, but not quite on par with the 2009. Liking South Africa lately.

Rich body, tropical fruits and subtle notes of honeysuckle with a clean finish. Excellent good pairing wine.
