Oy vey. This is in great shape. Limpid lemon oil, oyster shells. Soft lime. Very supple and open. Secondary notes but still freshness and lovely acidity. This is pretty spectacular. More Clos-like than Valmur.

Whew! With a sad 04 MdT the other day I had to check in on another vineyard to see if the issue wasn’t something more broad that year. From the same mixed case this has heavy weight and is barely medium gold, with more of a canary color in the glass. Great fruit forward nose. Notes of lemon, white acacia flowers, wet stones, honeysuckle, tan spice, a hint of grapefruit and some cut citrus fruit. Great weight. Some pucker on the finish. This is in a good spot but has more years of enjoyment in front of it.

Some secondary notes on the nose with soft lime and rock pool minerals. Very settled, poised and balanced. Classy and mature.

Wow. Beautifully settled nose. Delicate white flowers, a softened salinity with minerals and oyster shells. Subtle yet quietly intense. With the freshness and depth of grand cru Rav. Understated but long and beautiful.

Still a young gun but so delicious. Strong structure and touch of oak still lingering. Should age for quite a while longer

Full flamboyant big wine. Luscious mouth feel yet with acid and tight mineral finish. Just a showy mineral driven wine. Not a hint of heavy fruit.
