November 6, 2022 - Delicious and fresh - in a wonderful place right now! Yellow to golden color. Elegant nose with notes of white peach, pineapple,light honey, buttery. Intense but elegant and harmonious finish. Wonderful length. Some more years ahead.

August 7, 2022 - Golden yellow; a somewhat nutty nose with perhaps a slight hint of oxidation and/or some orange; broad soft attack, white pear, a bit neutral to begin with followed strong “buttery” flavours and a very long aftertaste; a “meaty” powerful wine with elegance; 80% Roussane

June 9, 2022 - Amazing lemon verbena nose. Lively and firm but just starting to carry a bit much oxidation for my taste.

December 18, 2021 - This bottle opened with a deep green gold colour and a nose of honeysuckle, lemon butter, grapefruit and pear lifted by a touch of honey. The palate is quite rich and round with quite delicious fruit characters reflecting the nose and just enough balancing acidity and mineral characters to provide the necessary structure to provide length and refreshment. This is an interesting and unusual food wine to turn to when Chardonnay has lost its appeal !
