Truly delicious. Orange peel. Essential oil. Burst of sweetness and minerals, throbbing. Sweet subtle tannins, beguiling texture and tertiary notes that evolve over days.

Just an incredible and unique white wine. Gets better as it warms up. Gotta buy more of this wine.

Finessed, smokey with exotic aromas; notes of lime blossoms, citrus, a hint of nuttiness on the finish

Golden, still retaining great acid. Tropical, pencil, and savory. Constantly evolving

One 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.

This was one of the more interesting white (or red) wines I have had in a while. Layers of flavor, some lanolin, and gets better as it reaches room temp. Worth the hype I’ve read.
