Great looking bottle, bought on release. Decanted for a few hours, then taken to Saison in SF. Canary yellow gold color, looks young and youthful. Enticing sweet fruit nose. Notes of citrus, kiwi, quince, tan spice, white acacia flowers and wet river stone. Huge impact on the first sip - massive core of fruit, held up by lots of acidity and structure. This has everything going for it, and can easily get better over the next 5-10 years. Hopefully my other bottles of this are equal to this great showing. 96+

Jun 9th, 2022Light gold color. Earthy, fruit-forward nose. Notes of citrus, gravel, lemon curd, wet stone and some kiwi. Medium acidity at first, which grew with 3-4 hours of air as we watched this power up. Great fruit. Great overall balance. No signs of POX with this one. Killer juice. Just a totally beautiful wine. Guessed 02 Roulot Perrieres.

Oct 16th, 2021Tasted blind. Canary gold, bright. Notes of pineapple, citrus, white acacia flowers, wet stones, dried lemons. Great texture and mouthfeel. Young. Guessed 2002 Cotat. Over 4 hours this exploded in the glass. Great juice.

Dec 8th, 2019Corked. But can still evaluate this as light gold color, heavy weight in the glass. No signs of premox. Rich and viscous in the mouth. Even though this is corked you can tell this is easily a 94-95 pt wine today with lots of upside.
