Very forward and very concentrated. I think wine would have benefitted from some air, but we were post horseback riding birthday party and needed drink. This was awesome.

Terrific acidity fruit and volume in the mouth. Great length. Wonderful minerality. Amazing wine from humble terroir.

Even better now that it has been here a while. Super wet earth nose. Lemon curd. Really mineral driven. Palate is beautiful with terrific acidity and powerful concentration. Really intense and finishes distinctly mineral. This is so long. Fantastic.

I import this and am a HUGE fan so take with appropriate grains of salt. This is my Coche-Dury in waiting. He doesn't have as good terroir but it's all there and reminds me of the Meursault master. Opulent, with beautifully integrated oak, wonderful wet earth on the nose after 15-20 minutes and just a crazy complex palate with perfect balance and length. Really an incredible wine and CRUSHES Lafon Monthelie Blanc which is between 53-70 a bottle. This was 34.99.
