This was sick! Vivid and uplifting. Creamy ripe yellow apple, white orchard flowers and half baked bread dough. Conveys nothing but class and complexity. From the eye guy @Andrew Steffensmeier — 6 years ago

A very enjoyable although not quite profound bottle. Rich brioche with citrus and pear notes. A crisp finish framed by nice acidity. Perhaps this should rest a few more years, or maybe it’s just the vintage as I’ve not had an 06 yet that was really bringing it. — 6 years ago

All shock and awe upon initial pop but eventually settles into a lovely groove of chalk, citrus, fresh green apple, biscuit dough. Super fine and effortlessly powerful and balanced. Another five years would be of substantial benefit. Give it some breathing room if you can’t hold off. — 6 years ago
