Dec 19th, 2017One of my favorite whites in the world. Nose starts out flinty with little fruit but as all fans of this wine know it unfurls. Some light yellow fruits and intriguing minerality. Palate is unreal. Intense and structured almost like a red wine. So pure and clean. Balance is extraordinary and it’s very young. Chewy and dense and some of the classic Simone Blanc flavors emerge on the very long finish. Like a lanolin nuttiness. So long and so persistent.
