July 23, 2023 - A very, very good Bordeaux white. While on the strong side alcohol-wise at 14%, this is well balanced by citrus/nectarine mouth and aromas and a nice grippy acidity. Will sure age well.

June 8, 2023 - Was really exuberant and fun, juicy, tropical, quite exciting for a glass or two.

May 1, 2023 - Yellow greenish color, floral immediately at opening, lemon, green apple, mild tropical, some oak at nose and palate, medium body and medium finish. Well balance.

January 8, 2023 - In the beginning the nose seemed excellent, but faded quickly. The taste was dominated by the oak, which pushed the other elements towards the background. Although they all seemed better integrated than one year ago, the fruit couldn't hold towards the oak, unfortunatley. But at the fourth day a herbal nose and sweet fruit more prominent, the oak more at the back. Still a classy wine; at the first day 90, at the fourth 92.

July 4, 2022 - Perhaps a touch too much oak, but it's so smooth and pleasant this might be nit-picking. Abundant citrusy flavors persist in a nice, long finish. Really nice white Bordeaux.
