October 27, 2022 - Very pleasant and light Sauternes. Actually improved being opened in the fridge for 2 weeks

August 28, 2021 - Eight at the Fordwich Arms (The Fordwich Arms): No particular attention paid to this, which was less than it deserved: honeyed, surprisingly fresh, some creaminess. Very decent.

March 3, 2021 - Light and juicy sweetie. A nose of marmalade with bits of peel but softer on the palate. An easy drinker and you could easily polish of a bottle.

July 9, 2020 - Relatively simple, as expected of a second wine, but clean, sweet but not cloying, hints of honey, marmalade, perfect everyday dessert wine (if there is such a thing!) and a complete bargain (£6 per half!).
