I brought this. Medium gold to gold in the glass, heavy. Notes of sauteed apricots, pears, orange marmalade and marzipan. Rich and heavy, but has some sneaky acidity. In a good spot, I'd drink these sooner rather than later.

#Took about an hour after decanting to really strut its stuff. Still young.

A very special wine to be able to taste. Super unctuous and incredible textural complexity. Saturated with aroma/flavor. Ripe citrus, dried apricot, quince paste, marzipan, beeswax, honeysuckle, pastry cream, warm spice, honey, almost this burnt sugar thing I find in Champagne, and a rocky underpinning throughout. Advanced in every way possible.

Blanc from mag - pretty shut down right now compared to the Chapoutier. I'd wait at least ten years to open another, 15+ from mag.
