March 12, 2022 - Unsure where this one is heading. It carries most of the hallmarks of excellence although unsure it is developing in the right direction

February 14, 2019 - A lot paler than expected with medium-low level of tearing. Starts up with an aromatic wall which evolves into an increased lemony funk. A slap of dexrose tartineness hits you with hints of besswax and perhaps a taste of petrol alongside a rounded flower bouquet. 10 codalie. Still has potential into the late 2020s. A bit of a show horse. Expecting more.

May 7, 2016 - Chevalier Fine Wines Tasting, Featuring Fine Vines Selections (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of apple and pear. Good density for its level, maturing early. Good for now, drink up.
