August 13, 2018 - Organic. Not at all oxidized. Very stinky nose. Opened an hour before dinner so decanted but it didn't sort itself out until the second half of the bottle. I really wish in these cases they'd write on the label that a decant is required. Anyway. The palate has a certain class and balance but it's still quite acidic especially on the finish. I was expecting this to be perhas over the hill but it actually needs time. I doubt it'll ever justify it's price tag (67 euros) but I'd be amazed if it didn't improve. If drinking now a 2-3 hour decant is required. 90-91.

October 7, 2017 - Lamma Island - Boat Trip and Long Saturday Lunch (Rainbow Restaurant, Sok Kwu Wan, First St,, Lamma Island, Hong Kong): Light lemon sherbert boiled sweet colour. Nose is very flinty and lemon sherbert.....fresh and still very young. Palate is super-crisp, oyster shells, tons of other minerals with a fresh-squeezed lemon acidiaty in the background. Fresh and vibrant with lots of tension and unobtrusive oak. Very elegant and well made. Nice finish but little length, which was a pity. I wouldn't be in a hurry to drink this as I think it will improve. 91+

September 9, 2017 - No decant. This wine has moved in a better direction since my Feb/2017 bottle. The yellow fruit perhaps a bit riper and the palate a touch broader. The oak has some integration to do still. Nice depth, a bit short finish. Improved with time in the glass/open bottle. I would rate it 91-92p now. My final bottle I will have sometime 2019 - 2021.
