July 8, 2013 - Really nice. Lots of aromatics featuring fresh cut fruits, stones and dried flowers/leaves. Palate has both round fruit and crisp mineralic acidity, decent length. Only the golden hue gives away its age. Fabulous match to seared scallops over a green salad and potato gillette.

June 30, 2013 - Crisp and delightful. Made in the French style. Mineral,apples , lemon. Last of the lot. Having with pizza I made. Does well to match the acidity of the sauce and balance of the fat of the cheese

February 12, 2012 - Drinking quite well at this stage Still has similar characteristics to my prior evaluations. Lemon, touch of creme brulee/custard, baked apple, minerals, and not overly manipulated oak. Quite elegant; crisp. A long velvety finish. Pairs very nicely with butter fried Opah fish, with a lemon, miso and honey sauce.

September 4, 2011 - Dinner party with friends. Similar to my notes of 1/8/11. Lightly toasted and well integrated oak, lemon, crème brulee/custard, minerals. Crisp and clean. Good acid. Nice finish.
