  February 10, 2024 - This is a huge, powerful white wine dripping with sappy orchard fruits. There are smoky mineral notes and some spearmint cream and aniseed too. It is full, layered and powerful. There’s so much wine here but it remains light on its feet. The finish is loaded with chalky dry extract and length imposing. This wine could liver forever under Diam.

  March 31, 2023 - Opened at the All-Star Dinner by Zachy's in HK. P&P, small glass sample.
  
  Unfortunate case of infanticide. This got better in the glass with some air, but I guess Montrachet really just needs some time.
  
  Very fresh and floral at the start, with hints of the classic chardonnay notes of butter, caramel and popcorn hiding beneath. Great structure and minerality - this will age beautifully.
  
  Would like to revisit in 5+ years and see where it's at, should be some upside.

  February 16, 2018 - Infanticide.
  A la fois opulent et fin, déjà de superbe équilibre mais qui se bonifiera sans l’ombre d’un doute sur les 5-10 prochaines années au moins.
  Belle ossature d’acidit, de minéralite, d’amertume élancée, déjà de grande complexité.
  La dimension la plus marquante à ce moment-ci est sans doute sa persistance en bouche, fascinante, comme un crescendo...
  93-95+?

  January 12, 2017 - Savoury oak and spicy notes on the nose
  Rich wine, lots of extract and acidity, intense with layers of creamy oak
  Very long
  A crime to drink this so young but clearly so much potential

  January 11, 2017 - Burgundy 2015 en primeur (London): Relatively opulent fruit, apples, honey, dense aromas, oaky but not over the top, nice complexity. Round filling but with structure. Just fantastic and accessible. All other whites pale in comparison. A treat to taste. 94-95 p.
