Delicious. I love how this wine combines both richness and freshness. Really sings on day 2.

This was cool. Oxidative, but not overly. Apple and marzipan and preserved lemon. Almond skin bitterness and rounded mouthfeel.

Very good. What seems to be oxidative notes I think is more Jura terroir. Some oak. Very precise.
