After 6 years this is starting to really strut its stuff and live up the exalted status of this great 1er Cru. Nose of lemon zest, lemon curd, mineral, kiss of oak, a little muted for now as a bit cold but palate is unreal. Huge density and richness with terrific acidity and freshness. Massively mineral finish with serious structure and concentration. Finish is compact and comes across as massive yet closed. Very pure and just superb quality. Very complex finish and really all the way through.Stunning showing. Great terroir. Wish i would have waited longer and i rarely say that.

The awesome opening wine of a great dinner. So complex and balanced and long. If I were a rich man, 🎶🎵🎶🎵, I'd drink more of this.

On advice of a dear friend and wine guru @Lyle Fass I am drinking my 13 whites. What a gem this is right now. Amazing color. Palate has some crazy fruit overtones (pineapples?) and a really nice long finish. YMMV in 13, so drink em if you got em
