I was loth to open this so early, but so worth it. Candied ginger, vanilla, lemon oil, sweet tangerine, floral perfume, so aromatically complex. On the palate, fantastic acidity, more lemon oil, tangerine oil, pickled ginger, cardamom, off the charts density, and a fantastic finish, showing some white pepper and then building juiciness.

One of my favorite producers, so I won't pretend to be objective. Stunning. On the nose: lemon, lemon oil, dense crushed stone, soft vanilla, and a creamy note that builds with air. On the palate: fantastic acidity...just so elegant. Dense, slathered in minerality, and meyer lemon on the finish. Wow.

Pale clear yellow. Nose of citrus fruit slightly chalky. Green Apple crispness pear nice mineral with a long smooth lingering finish. Love this wine.

Big fat oaky beast; bags of fruit. 1 minute finish. Turbot roasted with fennel demanded a response. This was it. Fish 1: Burgundy 1. A fair result.
