Like most 02’s this was showing beautifully — 2 months ago
Medium lemon yellow , fine bubbles . Quite restrained and mineral focused on the nose , then lemon confit , quince, touch of orange flowers, with some pastry notes , white flowers , honeysuckle also . Quite intense and mineral on the palate , fills out well with some lemon oil and pastry notes also , but this is reserved and elegant in style , more mineral , chalky and more intense than the 2013 had last week. Really refreshing acidity . Long and complex on the finish , I would imagine this needs more time than the 2013 too. Come back in 5 years , will show well for a further 10-15 years , perhaps longer. Very promising . — 17 days ago

Honey notes, minerally. Smooth finish. Bottle lost some carbonation but still had enough bubbles. Delicious. — 2 days ago
Minimal pop, luscious strawberry, resolved tannins. Really nice. — 2 months ago
This is such a seductive wine. It opens lush and creamy, with exuberant peach, asian pear, mango, and pineapple notes which dance around the palate. The opulence is abruptly and violently washed away by a Tsunami of acidity and mouth puckering citrus tones which power a long, resonant finish with stony mineral flavor. It is so silky, so powerful, and so light. An arresting combo. The nose was similarly exciting with a vivid floral top note. The QPR at $24.95 is off the charts, and I am going back for many more — 3 months ago

Finally got to try one of these with some bottle age. Maybe my favorite wine in their lineup; super unique. Unlike any Pinot blanc anywhere and really shares more with Riesling from the konzer tälchen than anything. Beautiful, crystalline stuff. — 2 days ago
