January 8, 2021 - Clear pale gold; clean medium plus nose of sweet ripe lemons, lemon blossoms and brioche with woodiness developing after 30 minutes; dry; high acidity; medium plus alcohol; medium plus body; medium plus flavour intensity; palate shows juicy ripe fruit with addition of grapefruit pith and burnt sugar; long finish; drink now; this was a great bottle immediately upon opening that faded fairly quickly - chug it fast as intended

June 17, 2020 - Chilean Chardonnay. I like this Producer's reds but didn't think much of this white. Not alot of flavors, very muted. Some peaches and butter. Claims to be 93 points from James Suckling
