Lots of love for this out there, but it's not a standout for me. I wouldn't kick it off the table, but I do look for a little more acidity and cut to help frame the baked orchard fruit and the honeycomb. Fans of a softer style will find lots to love here.

Beautiful, complex, delineated. It's got it all; the savory, the green, the fruit, the acid, the rocks. Finish is a touch short, and the intensity isn't quite what's promised by the nose, but man, I love Montlouis.

Honeycomb, apples, and pears. Lacks a bit of energy (and acid).
