Exquisite and delicious!!
Beautifully balanced between fresh, vibrant apple, lemon peel notes and brioche, biscuit, toasted almond, and pastry notes, with some delicate bruised pear characteristics revealing a bit of bottle age.
Mousse is fine-grained, persistent, and well-integrated. So good! — 12 days ago
This time was the best of all tasting! Some sweetness and fruit, and mellow tannins, went perfect with Moroccan couscous and merges. — 22 days ago

2012 vintage. Nice producer with anticipated, low-level stuff here. Decanted for giggles. Initially tasted directly after decant and temp was approx 57-59 degrees. Slightly golden color and somewhat ripe but not around the bend ripe. Acidity was low and almost no-go. Woulda rated an 8.7/8.8. Threw the decanter (gently) with a linen napkin for protection in an ice bath to chill down to the 40-42 degree region. Gave it 30 mins and kept it at that 40-42 temp for the next two hours. Acidity (not surprisingly) perked up noticeably. Medium body. Was really pleased with keeping this wine at that temp for the remainder of enjoyment. Feel comfy saying this would perform at a similar level for the next half decade if treated similarly. 11.25.23. — 11 days ago
