Fragrant like only Simone can be. Yellow fruits, gras, sense of richness. Super mineral and hay like aromas. Balanced, textured, rich and so long. Super texture. Texture and length stars of the day

This is the white. Ridiculous wine. It's been open for 2 hours now and is just tremendous. Floral, honeysuckle, mineral nose. Deep, brooding and complex. Nose goes in every direction. Palate is massively concentrated and ripe. Ridiculously deep and yet elegant and light as a feather. Stunning stunning wine. So pure it gives you the chills. Better warmed up a bit. Surprise of the year.

A rather grippy white with complex aromatics. Could improve with additional bottle aging.

Lovely and complex. A touch of oxidation. Great acidic balance. Crazy long finish. A white that loves its age.

A wonderfully complex wine. Haven't had it since 1999. They are still producing a very nice blanc
