March 19, 2022 - Superb Montlouis. This is perfectly poised and elegant dry Chenin. Elegant fruit, chalky finish, quite long and vibrant. Starts quietly but grows in the glass. Great now.

May 15, 2021 - A bit circumspect on opening. Seemed a bit scattered on the finish, but gained in gras and precision after a bit of air. A truly lovely wine. Plenty left in the tank, but no shame to open now.

April 12, 2021 - More or less on point with my previous note. The fainest hint of oxidation is emerging, but that waxy, marzipan, crystallised honey/apple palate is gorgeous.

August 31, 2020 - Still lovely, but this bottle was starting to waver and just cross the peak. Still showed a very crystalline honey quality, with waxy lemons, bramley apple, marzipan, and a rather robust lanolin note. There is still great clarity to the mouthfeel, which is both deep and resonous, yet clean and crisp.

April 2, 2019 - Beautiful wine and drinking wonderfully. Popped and poured: honey, ginger, lemon, chalk, beeswax all perfume the glass. Piercing acidity mellowed by the slightest rs. Everything in perfect balance
