November 1, 2019 - Impressive stuff. Feels a little younger than previous bottle, the sense of richness still present but quickly subsumed by a grippier and more minerally frame. Long with laser like focus and line. ****

June 8, 2019 - R/Y/I/C (Home): Mid straw. Very poised and focused. Lovely minerality, finely crystalline. Complex and long. There’s richness but it’s balanced by the freshness and complexity, making the Choisiles seem a little simple by comparison. ****

November 25, 2018 - My last bottle. Great. Rich yet light, juicy. Succulent. Tropical fruits, sweetish. Long.

November 10, 2016 - I have been returning to this wine for some time now and I am always surprised. For one - there is some bottle variation in terms of energy, some bottles are kicking with energy, some are significantly calmer (not old). For two - the wine is aging beautifully, melting into honeyed waxy quince juice with orange bitter, always evolving in the glass the whole evening. Very long finish, full mouthfeel, great weight, full body but not too heavy, in fact almost airy scents of summer flowers. Very good.

April 6, 2016 - In comparison with the previous bottle some months ago (see my TN), this one is much firmer and younger. No sight of tiredness, this one is rock solid, mineral and citrusy. Great concentration, very clean yet rich mouthfeel and long cleansing finish. Aeration helps to blossom. Very good!
