  February 3, 2024 - Gold.
  Aromas of ripe melon, apricot, candied orange, marzipan, raisin and crushed gravel. Hint of honey.
  Mid-weight. Cidery acids and gingery bitterness.
  Palate of winter apple, walnut, apricot pit, papaya, acacia blossom, wet grass and oyster shell.
  A fully mature yet vibrant and complex wine with yellow and exotic fruit, beautifully bittersweet on the palate and a long delicate ocean minerality finish.

  November 1, 2017 - Laville Haut Brion Blanc Dinner (Tocqueville): Beeswax, smoke, lemon curd. Smells amazing but the palate is actually a little thin. Apricot. Oxidative. Tangerine.

  July 13, 2017 - Farewell Filippo, Il Duomo table (La Trompette, London): Light to mid gold. A slightly tired waxy, lanolin nose but far more with it on the palate. A little beeswax and furniture polish on the nose too. With air it develops a touch of toffee and bruised apple. Splendid with food. A lip-smacking quality here withou any sweetness. (*)***
