November 13, 2023 - Another excellent bottle, this one showing better, fresher than the first two bottles. Pure Chablis, citric, transparent, some wet rocks.

May 28, 2022 - Lovely, detailed bouquet of lime blossoms and fresh herbs. On the palate, attacks well with the silky acids and texture of a white with some age and shows a crazy note of lanolin and pickled lemon rind. On the dry and bright ends of things, nothing rich or oaky here, it’s austere and intense and so minerally and citric, it’s the kissing cousin of a trocken Riesling. Terrific lingering, bitter caraway-seed finish. Aging nicely, my kinda chablis.

August 16, 2021 - This has put on more weight and filled out on the palate yet still retains a laser-like tension on the finish. Notes of ginger, lemon but with bright acidity; long fiinish. Excellent - but let it breathe.
