  I’ve had this wine before & it was stunning. This one was shows an oxidative quality that is off putting. Very yellow color. This bottle is off.

  (at Ramon Freixa - Madrid) Pale gold. Hazelnuts, minerals, under ripe banana skins, ocean salt, yellow fruit. Broadens with air. The is a resemblance to Grand Cru Chablis. Maybe a bit more of a fruit core. It the weight, feel and depth of flavor while dancing on the palate is remarkable. I need to explore and learn more about this. (95)

  Drink up. This has lost its fun factor. It is still lovely and exciting, but just like me, a little older than I want to be…..

  This deserves more of a “proper” tasting note, but sometimes you just want people to know that a wine is sophisticated without being difficult, tasty without being simple.
  
  This is just about the perfect age to drink this vintage. I love it and hope you will too

  Fantastic. Over the hours it has wavered from musty petrol and nectarine to melon and lime zest. Rich but lithe, juicy bitterness at finish.
