Used to love this but haven’t had since late 90’s. Nose is what I remember. Got that swimming pool thing big time and also some sweet lime zest and gobs of minerality. Herbs as well. Very complex and nice. Love the mineral drive of this wine. Juicy and perfectly balanced. Nose gets very expansive with air. Very saline and mineral on the finish. Nice wine. But not sure it makes the cut. With air picks up weight and concentration.

Aromatic: citrus, bread, slight herbaceousness - rich.

Härlig reserva som fått bli riktigt rik i stilen utan någon fatinblandning. Nötig, ingefära, moget päron, torkade blommor, äppelskal, saffran. Oljig textur och elektriskt avslut.

Nose is super elegant tropical. High winds seashore. Puligny elegance. Yes. I know. Sounds crazy. Honey perfume But elegant. Not heavy. Yes. YES! Fucktastic. Endangered species lilac flower.
Viognier Made by Burgundians.
Palate is elegant. Hint of honey. Liquid honey. Elegant.
HEAVEN.

Rather developed with deep golden hue. On the nose and palate some oxidative notes, sweet fruit, minerals, almond. Medium+ length. I'd have liked this a lot more if it would not have been so darn sweet tasting. Like young kabinet riesling from a ripe year. 2nd day the fruit is better balanced with acidity but at the same time wine lost some of the complexity it had on day one. Based on this I'll drink any remaining bottles within a year or 2 max

Dark color like an Oaked chard, but drinks more like a crisp CA sauv blanc with bright acidity. Slight minerality gives it a smooth finish.

Spring 2020. This was very similar to the standard bottling, with just a bit more intensity and a bit more bittersweet almond - very nice indeed.
