Fantastic, pinnacle #champagne - incredibly fresh nose, lots of energy with lemon, pear on the nose, touch of brioche plus wet stone. Fine bubbles, definitely felt like this was still too young and would have developed additional complexity given another decade. #cristal — 4 months ago
I haven’t had a lot of experience with Napa Valley Chardonnay but this was most enjoyable. Rich and mouth filling, creamy. Stone fruit and almonds. Barb said white flowers on the nose. Apparently this was picked early and malolactic fermentation was blocked. Oak influence is totally integrated - balanced. I paid $147 AUD in Brisbane in September 2021. A lot dearer than what you might pay in the States I would guess. — a month ago
Nice balance with light lemon and melon on the palate. Light oak. February 2024. — 3 months ago
Rubber hose (blew off over time). Tart lemon lime white peach blossom crushed stone and dried apricot and dried mango. Zesty acidity laced with stony minerality. It is alive in the glass constantly evolving. — 5 months ago
This vintage is drinking so well right now while you wait for 12 and 14. After a multi hour decant Dauvissat’s 2013 Clos radiates with power and intensity showing tremendous volume, textural weight and layers of oyster shell minerality, racy lemony acids and a massively long, vibrant, saline finish. Still many years to go on this one. — 2 months ago
A wine from Jorge Ordóñez and his winemaking team. Pale lemon with crisp stone fruit and citrus aromas. On the palate apple, pear and melon flavors with lemon citrus, consistent offering from La Cana. Medium finish ending with fruit, spice and mineral tang. Nice value. — 3 months ago

Deep lemon, almond oil, crushed stone. 2007 and still lively. Such good stuff. — 6 days ago
