  August 24, 2018 - Expected this to be way to young but it actually isn’t. This will improve over the next couple of years.
  Enjoyable. Apple, lemon, gentle creaminess. Mild acidity. I guess the acidity has to the most room for improvement.
  Overall a pretty good bottle of wine which will improve over de next couple of years.

  August 26, 2017 - Chablis and Oysters (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): slight toast, butter, fruit is a little peachier and it's riper on the palate, juicy as well, slight burr. Hmm.
