Oh my--so good. Like drinking out of a stone goblet w/ stone ice cubes sprinkled in. '08s are showing great already.

Lots of honey and mint to go w/ the expected stoniness. Starting to close down...check back in 5-10 yrs...

Good fruit up front, but it's almost lost in the wake of the stoney minerality. Outstanding and built for the long haul.

One of those whites that benefits from air time. Funk blows off and complexity comes out. Becomes a very good Sancerre.

That’s the bottle. The one which sustained us through the entire evening. From the grilled octopus, to the couscous salad, to the chicken pâté. Never stops thumping. Four hour wine.

Vin jaune très clair
Ouvert 20h
Rond plein et moi avec un sucre résiduel curieux après 20h d ouverture plus en place note d anis miele fruit blanc terpène
Bouche ample plus fraîche et délicate que la veille
Note de craie touche gourmand et massif
Finale dense avec un equilibre amer frais superbe mais simple
Un bon vin mais tarif surcote

More balanced and integrated than the 2009. Alcohol 12.5% not 15%. Just fabulous.
