Bright lemon with a touch of honey. Gorgeous fruit but a bit of premature age showing.

Way too advanced. Apple and gold. On the palate pretty good- fresher than it smells. But this is on the turn. Really not right given how much these cost.

One of the greatest wines I have ever enjoyed red or white. Rich yet zesty, sizzling yet abundantly fruited, chiseled yet tender ... Perfume like aromas: apple and pear, exotic woods, vanilla, cream, beeswax, toasted brioche, raw earth, wet stone, wild flowers and Lemon Curd... it was sensory overload - an explosion of nuance - The richness gave way to the acidity; The structure gave way to the terroir and yet the Riches was still there as was the acid as was the terroir on an on and on - perfection!!! Served out of 3 L at Gwen restaurant on Sunset Blvd during the "best bottle" dinner hosted by wineLA on February 8, 2017. 100 points drink now through the rest of your life time.... I do hope to try this again someday somewhere.

Nice focus. Turned beautiful after two hours in the glass.

Sadly premoxed. Not undrinkable but what the heck?
