In the zone. Big time. Gorgeous nose or lemon/like rock candy and confectionary aromas. Superb minerals and terrific focus. Tree bark. Lemon and lime gum drop. Floral and sweet lemon. Focused and expansive. Juicy and clean. Lovely ripeness and tension. So pure and clean. Not particularly long but so clean and intense.

Superb aromas. Lemon curd, lime zest, minerals on minerals, spiced apple, some pear, some hints of funk. Like the good BO. BO after sex kind of BO. Palate is elegant, grippy and superbly made. Elegant, complex and just delightful. Has that 14 tensile nervousness but also shows that 14 while having acid does not have depth of 17 or 18. Long. So well made with lingering lemons on the finish.

More fruit forward than the 13. Tropical. Still balanced and mineral but less geeky. A wine you can’t be sad to drink. Bought from fass selections.

God I love this producer. Elegance with a capital e. Nose is just gorgeous. Basically Chardonnay perfume. Palate is perfect balance. Chardonnay fruit with mineral and acid and just all interwoven. A masterpiece of winemaking. One of my favorite winemakers.
