  December 25, 2022 - Christmas Day 2022 (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Honeyed, richer nose than the 2001, a little butter and cream accompanies the apple notes. Feels a little more forward, there is a little umami note here as well. Medium plus intensity acidity feels a little sharp, apple and bruised apple flavours with honey, wet stone and umami, quite tangy as well, complex, Interesting

  February 23, 2022 - Coravin fun - Domaine de Chevalier; 2/23/2022-3/6/2022 (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Like the 2001 a little lanolin, lime, but also sweet spice, very slight menthol and a touch of cats pee. With time herbs and tomato leaf as well as a little honey, cream and butter. It's quite rich on the palate but still with medium plus intensity acidity, plenty of tannic grip on the mid palate and gums, lime and slight herbaceousness sit beneath this. All travel long.

  July 25, 2021 - First of three bottles.
  Cork in excellent condition.
  Not decanted but probably should have been.
  Pale hue; especially considering the barrel fermentation.
  At first, the oak was very present on the nose but with time it subsided.
  Beautiful savory notes emerge including some pine notes, kumquat, white flowers, melon.
  Very nice texture with just a gentle presence of oak, good acidity and freshness. Long, clean finish on the citrus side.
  This still had substantial life left in it ( 5-10 years) Held up for 48 hours in open bottle. Not bad for a 19 year old wine...

  October 3, 2020 - Initially presented as old and over the top but then after 30 mins took on a new life, showing almonds and marzipan, caramel and roast lemons. freshness still backing the medium bodied wine. Long and complex. Drink up.
