Gilbert on 2016:​

His Sauvignon Blancs had an unexpected purity and clarity to them

thanks to vines that are more than a century old

along with pepper and some subtle spice

with their parcels of Bourgogne surrounding the home and winery

First hits the nose like a sherry, I was worried it might be over oxidized. Has that slight Chenin oxidation that makes it wonderfully nutty. Maybe slightly sweeter than off dry (and sweeter than I was expecting) but still light on the palate, not overly sweet or cloying. Aromas of honeysuckle, orange blossom and orchard fruit.
