G20; 4.5+8.5*+4.5+8.5*+8.5*+4.5+4.5=94; Straight from the fridge and into the glass. Beautiful golden color. Very aromatic even at refer temp but these comments are principally after 20+ minutes in glass. Bit of petrol on the nose during the first 30 minutes. Butterscotch on the nose and palate. Fermenting orchard fruit as well. Mouthfeel has a smoothness, but also what I think of as an "Aubert" trait of swirling shape-shifting where all the aromas and flavors continuously come and go and overlap within a continuous background of what I call the "petrol character." The finish is very long and ever-changing in traits. Always fun to read reviews of Aubert wines because everyone comes up with a veritable potpourri of flavors and aromas, all of which are applicable depending on the vineyard, the cellar age of the bottle, and your routine during drinking. It all makes these wines fun and very desirable (and polarizing to some). This will continue to evolve and drink well for several years, but OK to drink now.

Rich, luscious mouthfeel, long lingering finish, exceptionally well made, drank and later with a chicken confit.

Dark lemon yellow. Very pretty nose, peach, tropical fruit, toast , marzipan, touch of vanilla and oak, with a long and pleasant finish

Big vanilla nose. Oak is very evident but quite balanced with the fruit and acid. Lots of stone fruit flavors. Drinking very well right now

Much better than my prior note. Really needs more time in the btl and a good decant. It’s a real sleeper. Hold
