Stunning young Equinces. Nose is quite with deep green apple and lovely minerality. But a bit quiet. But the palate is full steam ahead. Rich and just with loads of energy, juiciness and endless depth. This is so complex, dense and structured as well. Amazingly long finish. This is by far the best young Equinces I’ve ever had. Lush yet energetic and incredibly long.

Mar 31st, 2022Oh yeah. This wine is a Daddy wine. Insanely aromatic. Cake icing, green apple, huge minerals, alluring spice, iodine, hazelnut, so refined and complex. Wow, what a palate. The purest and most balanced Equinces ever. Just a stunning wine. Tastes like elite 1er Cru. Just insane. Awesome acids and freshness and also has fantastic roundness which is a sign of an elite white wine. See Keller and Brisset. As nose opens up it becomes perfumed and spicey like a spice bazaar. Palate is so deep. My goodness it is crazy. It is so clean, so fresh and so ethereal. It floats on the palate and pumps juicy, refined apple fruit on the mid and the finish. Wow. So deep. Totally genius and so so refined. Sickness. What structure and grip. Just genius. Best Equinces ever.

In some ways White Burgundy chose the tough life where success is measured against expert oak integration and that 'aint an easy thing to do well.
Les Equinces uses oak in the right amounts creating an upfront spiced vanilla lemon profile for first impressions.
But it's a wine that's good beyond oak influence. Personality hides for a bit, but let this decant and warm and sharp points resolve to soft textures. Vanilla lemon turns to Kentucky bourbon and cinnamon spiked graham cracker, fragrant white flowers.

Really impressed with this stuff - reminded me of Chouet’s Femelottes a bit, but this was rounder, much more lush mouthfeel. Golden apples & crunchy minerals, some orchard fruit, bit of paraffin, leesy, but for me it was the absolutely gorgeous mid-palate, opulent and impressive length on finish. This over delivers - bravo @Lyle Fass
