  October 7, 2022 - Great older white! I was surprised that it had held up so well, when drunk as a 15 year old wine. Still has strong sauvignon blanc fruit structure and flavours, with mellowed acidity.

  February 22, 2014 - Pale gold color. Citrus and predominantly grapefruit on the nose. Herbaceous and steely on the palate, with some citrus and again, grapefruit, some pears. According to the drinking window on CT, this should have been drunk by 2009. The Frenchman who sold us this at a little shop in NYC said it would last a bit longer. It did. Drinking wonderfully now, and we (fortunately) have another bottle.

  February 12, 2009 - Sharp peppery and grapefruit flavors dominate the palate, throwing this out of balance.
