December 10, 2017 - Color dorado que ya nos hace ver una evolución en el vino, siempre en el mejor de los sentidos. Cera, miel, manzana madura, membrillo. La boca está muy equilibrada, con peso pero con frescura. Muy rico.

December 26, 2012 - Not as complex as the very best bottle, but still a nice started that would have been a good match for our scallops (finished the bottle before we started to cook). There is a slight golden tinge to the colour, that is the only sign of any aging. Its medium bodied, with good refreshing acidity, green melon, a touch ot tropical fruit and a hint of ginger on the finish. While its lasted well and will continue to go on, I don't think its going to develop into anything really interesting. Very nice change though from White Burgs and White Bordeaux.

June 17, 2010 - First few bottles were disjointed and appeared to be too old, but this bottle, opened by Trudi while I was at work, was singing. Lovely balance of fruit and minerals with good texture and a long finish. Luckily there were 2 glasses left when I got in from work....

November 1, 2009 - The labels are pealing off and I have a feeling that its not been well stored. When opened this had a strong dry cork smell and to me. There was rich fruit underneath, but its very similar to the last bottle. Think this is more a storage problem than a cork issue and the last 3 bottles are coming out towards the end of the Xmas dinner when we've all drink too much.
